'''Referata – ''wiki databases''''' — offers {{tag|MediaWiki wiki farm|hosting}} of [[:Category:Semantic Web|semantic wikis]]; allowing you to add, structure, and store [[:Category:Data|data]] so it can be managed, shared, browsed, and analysed in as many ways as you choose, within a [[wiki]] environment.

Referata is primarily run by [[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michael D Suarez]], along with it's founder [[User talk:Yaron Koren|Yaron Koren]], and is hosted by [[WikiWorks]].[https://wikiworks.com]  It provides {{tag|Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free wiki hosting}} for public wiki sites (aka a '[[wiki farm]]') using the {{tag|MediaWiki}} wiki engine, along with the {{tag|Semantic MediaWiki}} plugin and associated Semantic Wiki suite of [[:Category:MediaWiki extension|extensions]], and also previously utilised the {{tag|OpenID}} universal login.  Referata also offers {{tag|Commercial license|commercial}} paid-for wiki hosting, with enhanced{{Clarify}} facilities.  All Referata sites support [https://www.google.com/analytics/ Google Analytics].

Combined with the collaborative abilities of a wiki, a site hosted on [[Referata]] can serve as a true user-powered [[:Category:Database|database]], with a minimal amount of setup work or technical knowledge.  Referata wiki sites can be public or [[:Category:Private|private]], open or [[:Category:ByInvitation|closed]].  Public wikis can be set up and run at no charge, but have a limit of 100&nbsp;MB file storage.  There are three paid-for service levels; at 20, 50, and 80&nbsp;US$ per month.[http://referata.com/wiki/Referata:Features]

As of November 2016, the Referata [[developer]]s and other [[staff]] appear to have at least partially [[:Category:Goal abandoned|abandoned]] the 'home' [[Referata (meta)]] wiki site.  The feature requests page has dozens of requests that have seemingly been ignored, and the recent changes list is mostly full of new [[user]] account creations.  It seems like the site has become just a [[:Category:Dormant|dormant]] host for individual [[WhatIsWiki|wiki sites]].

As of June 2021, all Referata sites are unavailable, and its root URL displays the following message:[https://web.archive.org/web/20210318072235/http://www.Referata.com/] <blockquote>Referata has been down for several days now, due to various network and server issues.  We hope to have it back up soon.  We apologize for the delay.</blockquote>
Referata's servers and databases were hacked in 2019, which took all Referata wikis offline and the service was never fully restored. A small number of large wikis reportedly received backups, but most content was lost. As of 2025, Yaron Koren has stated that he does not currently have any plans to restart the service.
 
In October 2021, the default error notice changed to:
<blockquote>A database query error has occurred.  This may indicate a bug in the software.
 
*Query:
:SELECT lc_value FROM `l10n_cache` WHERE lc_lang = 'en' AND lc_key = 'deps' LIMIT 1
*Function: LCStoreDB::get
*Error: 144 Table './yaron57_www/l10n_cache' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed (localhost)</blockquote>
