This Category: Wiki Spot 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 Wiki Spot in the appropriate field of its infobox template
b. 'tag' a word within the prose of the article, eg. {{tag|Wiki Spot}}
c. add [[Category:Wiki Spot]] at the bottom of its edit box.

Wiki Spot, (sometimes stylised wiki spot), co-founded in 2006[1] by Philip Neustrom, was a 501(c)3 non-profit, member-supported organisation dedicated to helping communities use and maintain wikis, commonly known as a wiki farm.

"We provide the means for communities anywhere in the world to initiate, maintain, publicize and fund wikis. We provide a trusting home for wikis through our WikiSpot.org service, encourage development of collaborative software, and promote adoption of the wiki as a tool for enriching communities".

Wikis with community benefit can create wikis free of charge, including any Creative Commons license they want. See the Wiki Directory for a list of Wiki Spot wikis.

Wiki size: 1,898 article pages see stats
(As of: 2015-07-04 – via Archive.org)

The site had a building community guide.

All of the city wikis on Wiki Spot were migrated to the LocalWiki project, and Wiki Spot was slowly shut down, existing now only in an un-editable form. The Wiki Spot founders went on to create the LocalWiki project, and years later co-founder Philip Neustrom co-founded Encycla (Encycla.com).
