WikiApiary is a wiki site that collects, analyzes, and displays information about the usage and performance of MediaWiki powered websites; its main focus is to examine other MediaWiki sites to see what extensions they run, and how they operate. Naturally, WikiApiary itself runs on MediaWiki, and also uses the Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) suite of extensions.

WikiApiary was created by Jamie Thingelstad, aka Thingles, with assistance from Karsten Hoffmeyer (who edits under his username Kghbln), and other editors. It allows anyone to edit, providing they register and confirm a valid e-mail address. Much of the page updating on the site is carried out by three bot accounts. Originally created in English, WikiApiary was expanded to include other languages, including: German, formal German, Greek, French, and Russian. More recent language additions include Catalan, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, and Chinese.

Originally independently hosted on Thingelstad.com (Thingles own personal wiki farm), it is now hosted on the Wikimedia Cloud VPS wiki farm from the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF).
