Wikipedia
A place to share interesting articles from Wikipedia.
Rules:
- Only links to Wikipedia permitted
- Please stick to the format "Article Title (other descriptive text/editorialization)"
- Tick the NSFW box for submissions with inappropriate thumbnails
- On Casual Tuesdays, we allow submissions from wikis other than Wikipedia.
Recommended:
- If possible, when submitting please delete the "m." from "en.m.wikipedia.org". This will ensure people clicking from desktop will get the full Wikipedia website.
- Use the search box to see if someone has previously submitted an article. Some apps will also notify you if you are resubmitting an article previously shared on Lemmy.
wow, love their theme!
Does Fandom count as a "true wiki"? The site is cancer but there's a lot of knowledge housed there, unfortunately.
yes, I think we can allow it. if the ads are too obnoxious, it will get downvoted, but I think we should still celebrate the contributions of users there, it's not their fault that an evil enshittifying company is holding their edits hostage
Development of Half-Life 2 from Combine OverWiki
A deep, branching rabbit warren documenting various topics about Valve's development efforts, including the infamous leak. This is the kind of stuff I'm glad to be able to read about thanks to topic-specific wikis.
Also, what do you think about sharing articles in the main community instead of in a megathread like this? It would make our links a lot more visible, so effectively implementing relaxed rules on Tuesdays to allow interesting articles from outside Wikipedia.
Sure. This is just about experimenting with formats. Dress rehearsal and whatnot. Feel free to post in the main community.
Agreed!
listen up, bureaucrat.. and how I found this page There's probably more interesting stuff on/about Ward's Federated Wiki
