PmWiki.org Hosting
At the WikiFarms page the first method listed is to use groups.
Anyone could create a group for their wiki that would run inside PmWiki.org.

Inside PmWiki.org you cannot create a new group without knowing the password.
You can easily prefix a pagename such as the appears appears like a group
but is really just another page.
Examples creating non-group associated pages:
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Profiles/Gnuzoo https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Profiles/Gnuzoo_PicturesOfMyCat https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Profiles/Gnuzoo_HowToFixAFlatTire https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Profiles/Gnuzoo_EmotionalSupportPotato

Another downside in using PmWiki.org as a host is that you will not
be able to use recipes. PmWiki.org does not vet recipes, and will not
load them. It works great though if you just use PmWiki as is.

"Anyone" should not. It is not okay to use our wiki as a free hosting plan for unrelated topics. Petko
I have never seen any documentation saying you cannot put any normal content
onto PmWiki.org. It is a Wiki which means anyone can edit and create pages.
Since anyone cannot create groups, using a profile_ prefix for a page name is
a simple substitute. Show me the 'policy' against this idea of using PmWiki.org
to host web content. It seems contradictory that a program to host
"anyone can edit" wiki pages does not want to host wiki pages.

It looks like you were using "PmWiki" to refer to "PmWiki.org", so I adjusted it for clarity. To clarify the distinction, PmWiki is the software itself, which you are of course free to download, install, and use on your own computer or server, where you can create and edit pages as with any wiki. PmWiki.org, on the other hand, is dedicated to developing and documenting the software and supporting the community that uses PmWiki on their own servers, rather than providing free wiki hosting.

NearlyFreeSpeech will require government id if you ever get locked out https://i.postimg.cc/PxGP9BhN/nearlyfree.png
and here are some (unlimited) reasons you could be terminated without warning (basically for any reason they feel like) and you cannot access your account ever again, your money is trapped as well. And they might sue you.https://i.postimg.cc/x1wf1MZ4/nearlynotfree.png
--Naturewiki Update: NFSN will auto-upgrade your PHP if it is more than 3 years from launch date thus breaking your PmWiki site if you don't stay upgraded to the latest version of PmWiki (or you can pay nfsn a ransom per month to keep old php) --Naturevault
Okay, sorry I did not understand (English is my 3rd language), I thought you meant you need to be a government organization for them to host you. No, simply they don't offer anonymous publication and don't shield you from law enforcement: they want you to take responsibility for your publications. They want your real name, and will ask for a legal ID document when they are required by law to do it. It is the same for almost all hosting providers. The clause for any reason for termination also exist in the terms of all other hosting providers and publication platforms -- it's their loss if they don't want to continue taking your money. We are moving to legal and political/philosophical topics, here the question is whether their hosting plan can technically run PmWiki installations. --Petko December 10, 2020, at 06:42 AM
