ScribbleWiki
[No Recent changes] • [No WikiNode] • About • [No Documentation]
Main topic: Wiki farm
Founded by: Wiki farm founder
(founder and CTO, etc)
Owner / CEO: Linger Media Company (owner)
Engine: MediaWiki
Farm topic: Miscellaneous
Farm license: Wiki farm license
Status: Dead
This ScribbleWiki has been dead (offline) since early 2008.
This Category: ScribbleWiki is either empty, or sparsely populated,
and needs to be 'populated' with articles, stubs (and / or other categories)
relevant to the subject matter of this specific category.

Include an article page in this category via one (or more) of three methods:
a. add ScribbleWiki in the appropriate field of its infobox template
b. 'tag' a word within the prose of the article, eg. {{tag|ScribbleWiki}}
c. add [[Category:ScribbleWiki]] at the bottom of its edit box.

ScribbleWiki is a former MediaWiki wiki farm which was founded in 2007 in Vancouver, Canada, that announced permanent closure of the service due to a server crash, and claimed failure of their (unnamed) backup service, to provide them with a backup. (29th Sept 2008) (The blog has since deleted all the comments made during the crisis, but some recollections may be found here [permanent dead link] at Lumeniki.)

People who want their own wiki should bear in mind that such disasters can happen. (MediaWiki backup instructions can be found here.)

ElWiki was another wiki farm that no longer seems to be available. Many free MediaWiki wiki farms are still in service; including: Referata, Wiki-Site.com, Miraheze, EditThis.info, and ShoutWiki.
