I absolutely love wiki walking through random obscure fan wikis, but I hate how most are on Fandom.

I think a federated wiki solution makes sense. I could see it as an evolution of the interwiki concept.

Thanks for linking my project. Im happy to answer questions about it. Also here you can find the git repo.

This looks interesting.

Seems like it's still early days yet, but are there plans to add things like namespaces and categories?

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago

For now my focus is to make it federate with Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. But you're welcome to open an issue for that kind of feature.

This looks very awesome. So it also functions as a redundant wiki?

Wikipedia should use it. Then others can create their own wikis, which keep a version of articles of Wikipedia.

Its similar to Lemmy in many ways, so like Lemmy posts are redundantly mirrored across instances, the same is true for Ibis articles.

Getting Wikipedia federated would be great, but it will take a long time for Ibis to be ready for that scale.

Can ibis import a full Wikipedia backup?

There is an API so you could write a script to import any kind of data.
