Here are direct links to the wiki farms along with ''Special:Version'' links to see what versions of the MediaWiki software and plugins are currently being used. ''Special:Export'' can be used by anybody to download the wikitext for multiple pages. Paste in a list of the page names, or put in just a category name and have it export the wikitext for all the pages in that category. Admins on a wiki can use ''Special:Import'' to create multiple pages on a wiki from those exports. Database dumps for a whole wiki are usually linked at the bottom of ''Special:Statistics''. You may have to be logged in to see it. Most free wiki farms use ads for long-term funding. See also the opt-in ad sections of [[wikipedia:WP:Funding Wikipedia through advertisements]].
