Wakka,[1] also known as WakkaWiki, is a former lightweight wiki engine, written by Hendrik 'Morn' Mans[1] and Carlo 'Gossip' Zottmann[1] of Germany. It was compiled in PHP, and used MySQL for data storage. The formatting rules are available on a page on the Opera Browser Wiki, and also available on the original WakkaWiki 'meta' and support wiki site. WakkaDev[1] was the development Wakka installation; a big wiki 'sandbox' install for testing new Wakka features. Wakka is named after a character from the video game Final Fantasy X.

The Wakka engine had seeded the spawn of a number of other wiki engines, which are forks; those being: CitiWiki[2] (also known as CS Wiki), CoMaWiki,[3] CooCooWakka (Chinese only), UniWakka, WackoWiki (Russian only), WikkaWiki, and WikiNi[4] (a French engine with English, Spanish and Esperanto support).

The Wakka engine itself is no longer available, it became defunct sometime late-2004. Its URL, WakkaWiki.com, has been hijacked by an unrelated Asian blog site (which happens to use the same name)!
