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.

I was an Evernote addict for years and then switched to Notion and fell in love with it. But it's definitely more for organizing data you already know the "patterns" for. I have been meaning to try to use something like Obsidian to be more free form note taking while letting me also connect different ideas to be able to gain some insights but just haven't been able to make the leap. Maybe 2025 is the year, lol! I haven't really tried "real" wiki (as in intended for public or community driven contributions" software in a long while. I will be interested to see what you choose and if you get more recommendations!
