OpenStreetMap itself is a project to do with {{tag|map}}s, but interestingly it is applying [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] principles to map making.  You can consider it essentially one big wiki with a single document: a map of the {{tag|Earth|world}}.  Contributors can view the map and then move across to the edit tab and edit the map!  The OSM project is modelled on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], and like Wikipedia, is overseen by a {{tag|Non-profit|not-for-profit}} organisation registered in {{tag|England}} and Wales, the [https://wiki.OpenStreetMap.org/wiki/Foundation OpenStreetMap Foundation] (OSMF).  It releases all of this map data (and wiki content) with an open license; namely the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 2.0 license}} (CC BY-SA 2.0).  With over 300,000 registered [[user]]s, it's a very active community of map makers.

The OpenStreetMap Wiki (OSM Wiki) is a very active wiki supporting the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. The wiki has project documentation for the main OpenStreetMap server software and also for the myriad of other open source offerings in and around the project, and branching out to document many geo-technologies in general (but mainly from an OpenStreetMap perspective). Like OpenStreetMap, the OpenStreetMap Wiki is overseen by a not-for-profit organisation registered in England and Wales, the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF).

A section of the OpenStreetMap Wiki documents OpenHistoricalMap, a companion project that maps the world in all of history using OpenStreetMap's software and ontology. A different spinoff project, OpenGeofiction, maintains a separate wiki, the OpenGeofiction Encyclopedia.
