ScrewTurn Wiki is an open source (GPLv2) Wiki software that runs on the ASP.NET platform.

ScrewTurn Wiki is open source (GPLv2) Wiki software that runs on the ASP.NET platform. It is written in C# and by default does not require a database, though SQL Server, Compact SQL, MySQL and Azure Table Storage are supported.

It can be considered both a Wiki and a Personal Wiki because it also has a Desktop Edition that runs locally without the need to be installed on a web server.

The user interface, thanks to many users' contributions, is available in 11 languages. The syntax is very similar to that of MediaWiki.

The project was discontinued in 22 July 2012 by the original developer and a group of volunteers was proposed. This took some time to happen and the project was forked in April 2013 and is hosted at STW CodePlex Project.

Why technically does ScrewTurn uses .ashx to create wiki page?

Why ScrewTurn Wiki does use ashx type to create wiki page? Isn't it dangerous to create asp.net page on the fly? update: they didn't create any physical pages. But how do they do that because the url is actually some-newpage.ashx ?
