| Main topic: | Wiki.yt |
Wiki.yt was the meta wiki for the Wiki.yt wiki farm.
| Wiki size: | unknown size [No see stats] |
Wiki.yt is a small wiki farm created by Kasper Souren, aka Guaka. There are two main goals:
- Develop real social wikis
- Make money through advertising, hosting and consulting
These goals can be in conflict, in which case, goal #1 prevails.
Real social wikis
We want to provide a space that is currently not well covered. Wikimedia Foundation is too big and too bureaucratic, and Wikia is way too commercial and annoying for small wikis.
- Community before profit;
- Only ads on wikis where it's not inappropriate, (e.g. no AdSense on Veganwiki since it leads to ads for non-vegan products);
- 'Sensible' wikis are hosted for free.
Money
We make money through
- Professional MediaWiki consulting, including Pywikibot coding, system administration, development of extensions and MediaWiki spam removal;
- Quality MediaWiki hosting;
- Advertising where this does not have adverse effect on the community.
News

We're already running several successful wikis
Hitchwiki is not on this server but is definitely a friendly wiki. Mirror.Hitchwiki.org will be on this server.
And then there are some less successful ones, possibly to be revived.

People
Wiki.yt was not just built by Guaka. Some other people were essential to its growth and success: Sigurdas, Simison, MrTweek, Robino and way many more other people.
Why .yt?
Most wiki.* domains were taken, what do You Think? Well, and it was cheap.
