A "wiki farm" is a server or a collection of servers that provides wiki hosting, or a group of wikis hosted on such servers. The following tables compare general information for a number of wiki farms. Please see the individual sites' articles for further information.

All wikis have common login and preferences. Creation of a wiki is subject to approval; it must have a large potential audience and be likely to attract enough editors. Projects which overlap existing Wikia or Wikimedia are not accepted. There is no means to close an inactive wikia, even if the community has moved elsewhere. Domains, names and identifiers are owned by Wikia Inc, not by the respective communities. There is also a Scratchpad wiki subdivided in categories ("") that welcomes all content. |MediaWiki 1.7alpha |GFDL |} Other wiki farms Most of the wiki farms below have WYSIWYG or rich text editors that don't require learning or using Wikitext markup, which what the above MediaWiki farms employ for editing pages. Those few that do not have editors will likely have their own Wikitext markup language that will be similar to the one used by Wikipedia. See also | ||||||||
