I'm considering starting an open-source wiki for Farcaster lore. I'm looking for some inspiration. What's the best wiki you've ever seen? "Best" = whatever that means to you. Organization? Design? Editorial approach? All of the above? Etc.

What features are you looking for in a wiki? I have been tempted to use this many times, but I am heavily invested in Notion so I haven’t really tried it, though I have a friend that swears by it. https://obsidian.md But I am not sure if that is the kind of wiki you are looking for.

I love Obsidian, and I've tried it several times... but I haven't been able to switch over to it, partly because I have the writer's equivalent of technical debt. I've been organizing my all my writing in Scrivener for over a decade, so switching costs would be quite high for me. Too much time to make it worth the effort, basically. And I don't think it'll work for me to start over either. I also use Notion often in my professional life. Last year I built an editorial style guide in Notion. For a FC lore-keeping wiki, I think open-source software would be best, so I've been looking at MediaWiki. But I'm really just exploring options at this point.

Obsidian is a good option. The software may not be OpenSource, but the content is stored as markdown files, which means it can be shared/replicated/preserved separately, in a universal, easy-to-parse and render format. An added bonus is @kepano is a Farcaster. A similar option might be GitHub Wikis (again, GitHub wikis are normal repos behind the scenes).
