Wikis

Category: Tech Stuff

Now, almost everywhere you can see information presented in the “wiki” form. It’s part of the Web 2.0. Which means, it’s become a trend in the Web community. There are more and more sites having their own Wiki sites which allow the community the edit and share information on specific topics. I believe that most of us know about Wikipedia which comes in 10 different languages.

There are several wiki projects other than Wikipedia, which are operated by Wikimedia Foundation. I found that the following wiki projects are quite handy:

  • WikiBooks – a free collection of open-contents textbooks. You can find cookbooks here too!
  • WikiQuote – find your favorite quotes from movies, famous people, etc… Including Johnny Depp’s. :P
  • WikiSpecies – know more about life. Might be handy for Biology students.
  • Wikitionary – definitely an alternative for Dictionary.com

Other than those operated by Wikimedia Foundation, you can get more from the list of Wikis. Before looking through the list, let me recommend a few Wikis from the list:


LyricWiki.org is a lyric database. Now you can search for the lyrics of your favorite songs. You can even search for lyrics in different languages. Kinda cool…


Wookiepedia – The Star Wars Wiki. This should be nice for Star Wars fans.


Uncyclopedia is a satirical parody of Wikipedia. Humorous articles can be found here and of course most of the time they are sarcastic.

Do you own a Wiki? Or do you like to share any other interesting Wikis? Please leave the URL in the comment.
