List of Wikis
It's all fun and games until you realize anyone can install Mediawiki. The following is a (perpetually incomplete) list of wikis I find online that are of some interest, though I don't necessarily visit most of them regularly (or more than once). My priority is wikis that aren't really often listed elsewhere and are self-hosted, but may also include wikis from sites like Wikia and whatnot.
For personal wikis, check out the Index for a list of active ones and the article itself for available archives of dead ones.
