The following wikis are powered by the GetWiki wiki engine.
The homepage is at : getwiki.net. This is not itself a wiki, but GetMeta wiki is partly aimed at describing/discussing the engine.
The engine is a fork development of the MediaWiki engine. The main purpose of the engine actually is to power wikinfo.org a website which forks the whole english wikipedia!
The engine has some special features aimed specifically at forking wikipedia.
Instead of red links, GetWiki uses green links to point to articles which do not exist locally. When the user follows such a link, GetWiki tries to dynamically fetch it from the wiki designated as an external source (in Wikinfo's case, the English Wikipedia), renders and displays the article text. A local copy is created only if the page is edited. Effectively, Wikinfo therefore provides a transparent "wrapper" around Wikipedia pages which have not yet been copied. See Wikipedia's page about wikinfo
