Wiki's about place are fun for a community to use and deepen the community. These are generally *very local* - case in point - at the DavisWiki - there was created a guide to locations in the city where there used to be a telephone booth. Fun local history! | |||
You live someplace. A '''civic wiki''' is a wiki about that place. | |||
Except that the bulk of the listings in [[WikiIndex.org|WikiIndex]] are [[Wikia.com|Wikia]], etc. projects. By restricting this listing to civic wikis that have their own domains, I hope to exclude most of those. | |||
