I am using Mantis (PHP and MysQL) as a bug tracking tool and I would like to extend it in order to document requirements and technical specifications. Ideally, I should be able to link a defect with a requirement.

Is there a way to integrate a Wiki tool (preferably PHP and MySQL based) into Mantis?

EDITED:

Suggested alternatives to Mantis: (open source bugtrackers with integrated Wiki)

  1. TikiWiki (Php)
  2. PhpWiki (Php)
  3. Trac (Python) (Thanks ax)
  4. Redmine (Ruby on Rails) (Thanks Paul)

DokuWiki will be a good choice.

I cannot see the content on this page - it looks like I need an account with mantisbt.org website

instead of trying to integrate 2 different, uncoordinated software packages, i would suggest to use an issue tracker with integrated wiki (and VCS interface, reporting, timeline, roadmap, etc.): Trac. you can import your Mantis bugs into Trac with mantis2trac.

It is a good alternative, I will consider it.
Adrian
Also consider redmine.

no, the 'do one thing' mantra works well for OSS projects, as a result they have to provide good interoperability hooks, so tying them together means you can have the best of both worlds. This is a strong feature of much OSS software. Not to say that Trac isn't good mind.

Mantis can be integrated with MediaWiki

The mediawiki instructions also work for Mindtouch.
