Wikipedia uses MariaDB (so, MySQL). https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers#Software

Wikipedia predates NoSQL. It runs on PHP + MySQL because that's what was most popular back in 2001, and they have no intrest in completely rewriting their entire stack just to use Cassandra or MongoDB. That doesn't mean a NoSQL data store wouldn't work extremely well for the type of application that Wikipedia is.

MongoDB is the MariaDB of the NoSQL world.
