Template:Wiki FarmTemplate:TOCright ScribbleWiki was a wiki farm, founded 2007 in Vancouver, Canada, that announced permanent closure of the service due to a server crash, and claimed failure of their (unnamed) backup service, to provide them with a backup. (29th Sept 2008) (The blog has since deleted all the comments made during the crisis, but some recollections may be found here  [dead link] at Lumeniki.)

People who want their own wiki should bear in mind that such disasters can happen. (MediaWiki backup instructions can be found here.)

ElWiki was another wiki farm that no longer seems to be available. Many free-of-cost MediaWiki wiki farms are still in service; including: Referata, Wiki-Site, Wikia, and Editthis.info.
