Compendium an alternative to Wikipedia! 

Compendium is a website designed to handle the hurdles that Wikipedia hurls at.

it will allow developers just like you to write encyclopedic articles about yourselves, your projects, your games, or other peoples content!

just be certain to follow the rules, it is afterall an encyclopedia should not sound like an advertisement.

you can find it and the mission statement here:

https://indiegamenews.github.io/Compendium/Home.html

you can write an article simply by forking and editing the repo located here:

https://github.com/IndieGameNews/Compendium

then running a pull request back to the main repository. Once accepted your content will be on the interweb! 

And Remember, We do what Wiki Don't! 

if you have any questions please; you need only ask.

really? this is what you choose to address during a crises?  

This should be in a different format than GitHub. For example, free wiki software is available, including free hosted implementations.

Looks more like a Fandom alternative rather than Wikipedia- and Github is not the right place for that, certainly zero formatting help by the looks of it
I'm not sure how the dedicated wikis do it, there's several for different games, most of which are much larger in scale than an indie project of course, but this seems to be lacking the critical tools most wikis would really on- more than just a text document as a subsidy of a site

but that isn't its purpose? it's not supposed to be like every other wiki. it says right in the home page that it's not designed to be like other wikis.
