Casual Tuesday: Post articles from your favorite non-Wikipedia wikis!
Tuesday is a day to celebrate the broader wikiverse! Post links to wikis that you think others will find interesting! Some of my faves: Wookiepedia, Fallout/Elder Scrolls Wikis, Know Your Meme, TV Tropes, AARoads.
Please follow the typical posting rules here: format is
- Title (editorialization)
- NSFW wikis allowed as long as they're flagged as such,
Please only post true wikis! As in, using wiki software and collaboratively/iteratively edited.
Edit: feel free to post the links in the main community, not just here in the comments
