'''Wikinfo.org''' was originally a wiki {{tag|fork}} of the whole [[English Wikipedia]]!  The main difference (and perhaps the reason for the [[fork]]) is that Wikinfo supposedly tries portray a '[[Archive.org:20160415113736/http://Wikinfo.org/w/English/index.php/Wikinfo:Sympathetic_point_of_view|sympathetic point of view]]' (SPOV), rather than Wikipedias' '[[neutral point of view]]' ([[:Category:NPOV|NPOV]]).  In reality, the majority of pages are unmodified copies of Wikipedia content.
 
<blockquote>"{{tag|Original research}} which addresses significant problems is especially appreciated.  {{tag|Dictionary}} definitions, links to websites, {{tag|quotations}}, source texts, and other types of {{tag|information}} not acceptable on {{tag|Wikipedia}} are welcome.  '''Wikinfo''' is intended to complement and augment Wikipedia, and, ultimately, surpass it as an information resource, but [[user]]s are encouraged to continue participation in that community and help make it all that it can be".</blockquote>
 
Major shakeup in March 2007: programmer left, [[Fred Bauder|FJB]] retained leadership, [[:Category:Wiki engine|engine]] switched from {{tag|GetWiki}} to {{tag|MediaWiki}} wiki engine, changed to {{tag|OpenEdit}}.  English Wikinfo has a problem.
 
In June 2008, there are articles in {{tag|Wiki English|English}}, {{tag|Wiki German|German}}, {{tag|Wiki French|French}}, {{tag|Wiki Croatian|Croatian}}, {{tag|Wiki Italian|Italian}}, {{tag|Wiki Portuguese|Portuguese}}, and {{tag|Wiki Latin|Latin}}.[https://web.Archive.org/web/20160419092735/http://Wikinfo.org/w/English/index.php/Wikinfo]  The wiki became very much more active.
 
Sometime late 2016, the first MediaWiki site, located at <tt><nowiki>http://Wikinfo.org/w/English/index.php</nowiki></tt>, went offline.  In March 2017, a new Wikinfo MediaWiki site was launched, located at <tt>https://wikinfo.org/wikinfo/index.php/Main_Page</tt>.  As of mid 2018, this new MediaWiki site is considerably smaller than its predecessor.
 
;Other wiki by Fred Bauder
Fred Bauder operates the main [https://Wikinfo.org Wikinfo.org] site as his personal portal, which he uses to host a small collection of his wikis.  These are: [[Wikinfo]], along with [[WWTrade]], [[Communpedia]], [[Crestone News and Information]], and [[Revelation]].
