'''Wetpaint''' was a [[wiki farm]] which offered free hosted [[wiki]] websites to anyone who wanted to create one.  Wetpaint's product offered visual (WYSIWYG) editing and threaded comments, using its own unique {{tag|wiki engine}}.  It was financially supported by contextual {{tag|advertising}}.  Wetpaint wikis were editable (obviously), but the [[edit]] button is in near the top left, unlike [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] wikis.  Wiki sites that utilised Wetpaint technology included [[wikiCancer]], [[wikiFido]], [[BobDylanwiki]], [[wikiGOP]], [[Independent Film Database]], [[Everything Wiki (Wetpaint)|Everything Wiki]], and a public testing site entitled [[wikiSandbox]].  Wetpaint licensed third-party use of the Collective Content and Submissions under a [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 3.0 unported license]] (CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0).<ref>[[Archive.org:20130801081611/http://WetpaintCentral.com/terms#7._SUBLICENSE_UNDER_CREATIVE_COMMONS_LICENSE|Terms – 7.
