• Farm: Wiki.yt (id: 24661) — list of wiki sites (active and defunct) hosted on the Wiki.yt wiki farm, at WikiApiary.com (founded 2011), the wiki site for detailed information on all MediaWiki-powered websites

Wiki.yt is a small wiki farm created by Kasper Souren, aka Guaka. There are two main goals:

1. Develop real social wikis
2. Make money through advertising, hosting and consulting

These goals can be in conflict, in which case, goal #1 prevails.

Real social wikis

We want to provide a space that is currently not well covered. Wikimedia Foundation is too big and too bureaucratic, and Wikia is way too commercial and annoying for small wikis.

• Community before profit;
• Only ads on wikis where it's not inappropriate, (e.g. no AdSense on Veganwiki since it leads to ads for non-vegan products);
• 'Sensible' wikis are hosted for free.

Money

We make money through

• Professional MediaWiki consulting, including Pywikibot coding, system administration, development of extensions and MediaWiki spam removal;
• Quality MediaWiki hosting;
• Advertising where this does not have adverse effect on the community.

Wiki.yt was not just built by Guaka. Some other people were essential to its growth and success: Sigurdas, Simison, MrTweek, Robino and way many more other people.

Why .yt?

Most wiki.* domains were taken, what do You Think? Well, and it was cheap.
