The AARoads Wiki was established by longtime members of Wikimedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads|WikiProject U.S. Roads]] as a subject-specific [[fork]] of the English {{tag|Wikipedia}} over disagreements about source and notability standards. Compared to Wikipedia, the AARoads Wiki places more emphasis on numbered highway route systems and relies on a broader range of sources for technical information. The wiki features multimedia from {{tag|Wikimedia Commons}} and interactive maps based on OpenStreetMap and OpenHistoricalMap. | The AARoads Wiki was established by longtime members of Wikimedia's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads|WikiProject U.S. Roads]] as a subject-specific [[fork]] of the English {{tag|Wikipedia}} over disagreements about source and notability standards.
