This Federated wiki (concept) article is a 'stub'. You can help by expanding this stub article, thanks. :-)
A federated wiki is concept, specifically one that is where individual users help to host the content of the wiki themselves. The fundamental idea is that a federated wiki can either mirror the entire site, or some portion of the pages they find relevant, or choose to fork part of it, and accept or reject certain edits that they find more or less constructive.
In 2012, Ward Cunningham decided to introduce the Smallest Federated Wiki on GitHub to allow users to help 'federate' Ward's Wiki, or any other projects.[1] See here. This is similar to interwiki, and MeatballWiki's idea of 'OneBigWiki'.
In February 2015, a sample implementation was originally found online at: http://C2.Fed.Wiki.org/view/welcome-visitors (via archive.is). It subsequently moved to a new URL, namely: http://Fed.Wiki.org/view/welcome-visitors.
