Telepedia
Telepedia hosts public, community-run wikis about subjects including television, movies, games, anime and manga, books and comics, and music.
What Telepedia is
Telepedia hosts public, community-run wikis about subjects including television, movies, games, anime and manga, books and comics, and music. Users can start a wiki with a creation wizard without waiting for approval, or bring an existing wiki to the platform. The hosted wikis use MediaWiki, free and open-source software, and are available on the web. Administrators can manage settings, extensions, namespaces, user groups, and permissions through ConfigCentre. Listed extensions include VisualEditor, MobileFrontend, YouTube, and interactive maps, with some available for local administrators to enable. Administrators can request additional extensions for Telepedia to evaluate, though some options are not supported. The service generally does not host private, personal, or restricted-group communities. Telepedia may place and manage advertisements on hosted wikis, and wiki owners cannot remove or change them. Staff support is available through a Support desk. If a wiki leaves the service, Telepedia provides XML dumps but not image dumps. The service is free and web-based.
