'''In Memoriam''', also known as '''September 11 Wiki''', was a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki site]] dedicated to {{tag|People|everyone}} who died in the {{Wp|September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks}} of {{Wp|September 11}}, {{Wp|2001}}, in the {{tag|United States}}.

This wiki was originally a {{tag|fork}} of specific content from the [[English Wikipedia]].  It was created in October {{tag|FoundedIn2001|2001}} in response to a flurry of {{tag|Biography|biographical}} pages for 9-11 victims that were deemed not to belong on {{tag|Wikipedia}}.  The solution was to create a separate ''Wikipedia'' to cover the attacks: [[Archive.org:20030413072718/http://Sep11.Wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Memoriam|Sep11.Wikipedia.org]]; a move unique in Wikipedia's [[:Category:History|history]], and a sign of its still-uncertain scope and direction in 2001.  According to {{Wp|Wikipedia#Sister projects – Wikimedia|Wikipedia's article on itself}}, '''In Memoriam''' was the first [[Sister wiki|sister project]] ever created for Wikipedia.  When the creation of new memorial pages for 9-11 victims ceased on the [[English Wikipedia]], activity on the September 11 Wiki mostly ceased as well.
