Add installing Mediawiki section
Now I had to configure my network's router firewall to allow port forwarding from outside the network (aka a pinhole). I fixed the IP address assigned to the box to a single IP address that I knew would work, and then I went to the port forwarding configuration page to allow TCP port forwarding on port 23 to the Ubuntu box on port 23. The router gave me a public IP address, and I used that in my PuTTY client (along with my private key and port 23) to try a SSH connection, and it worked!
 
== Installing Mediawiki (1/4/16) ==
 
Mostly going to be following steps from [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu this page] on installing Mediawiki.
 
Make a directory for the stable version of Mediawiki (1.26.2), which isn't available through apt-get, so we're downloading the official tarball!
 
$ mkdir ~/Downloads
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ wget https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.26/mediawiki-1.26.2.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf /pathtofile/mediawiki-*.tar.gz
 
Copy the extracted files to /var/lib/mediawiki:
 
$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/mediawiki
$ sudo mv mediawiki-1.26.2/* /var/lib/mediawiki
