'''Wiki.Wiki''' {{tag|Former MediaWiki wiki farm|was}} a {{tag|free MediaWiki wiki farm}}, or a network of [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]], which hosted around 100+ [[wiki]] sites in thirteen (13) [[:Category:Wiki language|languages]] (as of 2017).  Wiki.Wiki sites ran on {{tag|MediaWiki}}, the free and open source wiki package ('[[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]]') written in [[:Category:PHP|PHP]], originally created for use on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].  MediaWiki is used extensively by other [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] (WMF) projects, and remains the world's most popular wiki software.<ref>Barrett, Daniel J.

'''Wiki.Wiki''' is a [[wiki farm]], or a network of wikis, that currently hosts around 100+ projects in 13 languages (''see '''[https://wiki.wiki/Directory Directory]''' for a complete list or browse '''[https://wiki.wiki/Category:Wikis Category:Wikis]'''''). Anyone is welcome (and encouraged!) to contribute to any wiki by creating an account at the appropriate project. Wiki.Wiki projects, including this one, run on top of [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki], the free and open source wiki package written in PHP, originally for use on [[Wikipedia]]. MediaWiki is used by other [[Wikimedia Foundation]] projects and remains the world's most popular wiki software.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2dhL5V3pLHkC&pg=PA4&lpg=PA4&dq#v=onepage&q&f=false What's MediaWiki?] from ''MediaWiki'' by Daniel J. Barrett (October 14, 2008), O'Reilly Media, Inc. Retrieved July 15, 2015.</ref>
In December 2016, the ability to directly create new wiki sites was removed, and attempting to request a wiki returned a message saying: "We are evaluating our program right now and are not creating new wikis for a while".<ref>[[Archive.org:20170127055700/https://Wiki.Wiki/|Wiki.Wiki]]; ''Wiki.Wiki''; archived 27 January 2017.</ref>


The farm is operated under the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (“CC BY 4.0”)] license.
On 28 September 2017, an email was sent out saying that the service would be {{tag|Goal abandoned|shutting down}} on December 1. The website then showed a message which stated: ''"wiki.wiki has closed. It was a great run, but unfortunately, we had to close down wiki.wiki. If you did not retrieve your wiki before it went offline, please send an email to help@wiki.wiki"''. The last [[Wiki main page|wiki front page]] of Wiki.Wiki was [[:Category:Archived|archived]] by the Internet&nbsp;Archive WaybackMachine at [[Archive.org]] on [[Archive.org:20171003205940/https://Wiki.Wiki/|3 October 2017]]. The last sample by [[WikiApiary]] in November 2017 show 71 wiki sites listed.
 
As of December 2016, the farm appears to be seriously inactive. The ability to directly create wikis has been removed, and attempting to request a wiki returns an error message saying "We are evaluating our program right now and are not creating new wikis for a while". Requesting and waiting 3 months returns absolutely no response or other results.
 
==Why Wiki.Wiki?==
Wiki.Wiki is a great option for wiki enthusiasts who want to focus on creating collaborative content and building community, instead of worrying about domain registration, hosting, and MediaWiki installation and maintenance. Let us take care of those tasks for you! How do we provide these services? Wiki.Wiki offsets the cost of making .wiki domains available and providing free hosting by placing an ad in the lefthand sidebar of each wiki.  
 
Here are three ways Wiki.Wiki differs from competing wiki farms:
# '''.wiki''': Projects utilize the .wiki top-level domain, which is perfect for wiki-centric sites.
# '''Free hosting''': There is no cost associated with launching a new project and hosting is provided for free!
# '''Customer service''': We offer superb customer service. One recent survey respondent wrote, "''The onboarding process was one of the best I've ever had on the Internet... Thank you for being so kind, patient and helpful - I felt like I was dealing with an old trusted work friend.''"

Description[edit]

Wiki.Wiki was a free MediaWiki wiki farm, or a network of wikis, which hosted around 100+ wiki sites in thirteen (13) languages (as of 2017). Wiki.Wiki sites ran on MediaWiki, the free and open source wiki package ('wiki engine') written in PHP, originally created for use on Wikipedia. MediaWiki is used extensively by other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects, and remains the world's most popular wiki software.[1] The wiki sites on the Wiki.Wiki farm were licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY 4.0), and was started in 2014.

In December 2016, the ability to directly create new wiki sites was removed, and attempting to request a wiki returned a message saying: "We are evaluating our program right now and are not creating new wikis for a while".[2]

On 28 September 2017, an email was sent out saying that the service would be shutting down on December 1. The website then showed a message which stated: "wiki.wiki has closed. It was a great run, but unfortunately, we had to close down wiki.wiki. If you did not retrieve your wiki before it went offline, please send an email to [email protected]". The last wiki front page of Wiki.Wiki was archived by the Internet Archive WaybackMachine at Archive.org on 3 October 2017. The last sample by WikiApiary in November 2017 show 71 wiki sites listed.

Features[edit]

New wiki sites that were hosted on the .wiki domain included the following features and extensions:
