"Original research which addresses significant problems is especially appreciated.  Dictionary definitions, links to websites, quotations, source texts, and other types of information not acceptable on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] are welcome.  '''Wikinfo''' is intended to complement and augment Wikipedia, and, ultimately, surpass it as an information resource, but users are encouraged to continue participation in that community and help make it all that it can be".


''Pre-March 2007:''<br>
'''Wikinfo.org''' was originally a wiki {{tag|fork}} of the whole [[English Wikipedia]]!  The main difference (and perhaps the reason for the [[fork]]) is that Wikinfo supposedly tries portray a '[[Archive.org:20160415113736/http://Wikinfo.org/w/English/index.php/Wikinfo:Sympathetic_point_of_view|sympathetic point of view]]' (SPOV), rather than Wikipedias' '[[neutral point of view]]' ([[:Category:NPOV|NPOV]]).  In reality, the majority of pages are unmodified copies of Wikipedia content.

Major shakeup in March 2007: programmer left, FJB retained leadership, [[:Category:Wiki Engine|engine]] switched, change to OpenEdit.  From [[:Category:GetWiki|GetWiki]] to MediaWiki.

In June 2008 there are articles in {{tag|Wiki English|English}}, {{tag|Wiki German|German}}, {{tag|Wiki French|French}}, {{tag|Wiki Croatian|Croatian}}, {{tag|Wiki Italian|Italian}}, {{tag|Wiki Portuguese|Portuguese}} and {{tag|Wiki Latin|Latin}}.  The Wiki is very much more active.

In June 2008, there are articles in {{tag|Wiki English|English}}, {{tag|Wiki German|German}}, {{tag|Wiki French|French}}, {{tag|Wiki Croatian|Croatian}}, {{tag|Wiki Italian|Italian}}, {{tag|Wiki Portuguese|Portuguese}}, and {{tag|Wiki Latin|Latin}}.[https://web.Archive.org/web/20160419092735/http://Wikinfo.org/w/English/index.php/Wikinfo] The wiki became very much more active.
 
Sometime late 2016, the first MediaWiki site, located at <tt><nowiki>http://Wikinfo.org/w/English/index.php</nowiki></tt>, went offline.  In March 2017, a new Wikinfo MediaWiki site was launched, located at <tt>https://wikinfo.org/wikinfo/index.php/Main_Page</tt>.  As of mid 2018, this new MediaWiki site is considerably smaller than its predecessor.
 
;Other wiki by Fred Bauder
Fred Bauder operates the main [https://Wikinfo.org Wikinfo.org] site as his personal portal, which he uses to host a small collection of his wikis.  These are: [[Wikinfo]], along with [[WWTrade]], [[Communpedia]], [[Crestone News and Information]], and [[Revelation]].
