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.

I know I've seen a few wikis I loved in the past, but no actual names come to mind for me either. Wish I'd saved links.

Taking on a project like this would depend on finding both collaborators and sustainable funding. But for now, at least, it's worth thinking it through. 

I've already got several pages of lore-keeper notes from the Farcaster Scenius Lexicon project, the Moxie Dictionary project, and bits of new clanker lore. So that's a start on the content, at least...

Great idea. Interested if anyone comments inspiration...I can't think of anything at the moment.

honestly? wikipedia is goated imo, simple text-focused, citations and internal links galore

I was heavily involved in building the game wiki for Coin Hunt World in 2021 (now CubieVerse), we had some community tools that weren't elsewhere also (community map)

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking at MediaWiki, which powers Wikipedia, so we're on the same page there.

Thanks for the encouragement and the tip! 

TBH I'm kinda surprised that I haven't seen something like this get started already.

I'm not a gamer at all, so I wouldn't have a clue where to even start on that. Any recommendations?

Can probably look up some gaming wiki sites

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.

I think this is my favorite of all the suggestions I've received so far. I'll be taking some time to explore this more closely. Thank you so much!

the design styles wiki is one of my faves (mostly bc of the content tbf)

I could do it in Notion, yes. I built this style guide in Notion last year, and I still use it regularly. 

I'll have to think some more on whether or not Notion would be the best option for lore-keeping tho.
