Wikia
Wikia is a wiki host, providing free online spaces to collaborate with people who share your interests. Using the same free and open source MediaWiki software that also runs Wikipedia, Wikia was launched in 2004 by Jimmy Wales (founder of Wikipedia) and Angela Beesley.
Whereas Wikipedia is a free general encyclopedia for factual content with a neutral point of view, Wikia exists to "fill out the rest of library." Formerly called Wikicities, they changed to Wikia in 2006. Today, they've supported the creation of thousands of vibrant wiki communities covering everything from sports to gaming to toys.
All Wikia sites are licensed under either the GFDL or a Creative Commons Licence, and are open to the public to view and edit. Wikis can be created instantly.
Languages
More than 200 languages, including Klingon!
