From Wikipedia to Wookiepedia, and beyond...
Following my post yesterday on how Star Wars fans dominate Wikipedia, I’ve been informed that Star Wars fans have set up an online encyclopaedia of their own: Wookiepedia.
So I started doing some research, and it turns out sci-fi fans have being creating little wikipedias all over the place. Dizzy has already upped the geeky stakes by posting on Lostpedia – a wiki site about the infuriatingly addictive and ridiculous TV show.
I’ve also found Trekpedia, but as that’s a site currently under construction, you might prefer PlanetAlpha, a more developed Star Trek wiki. There’s Matrixpedia, for all you Matrix fans. And if you’re more of a general sci-fi lover, there’s Scifipedia. Hurrah!
But geeks come in all guises. I’ve found the Wikible – the biblical encyclopedia. Conservapedia – for those who are annoyed at Wikipedia’s "liberal" tendency of publishing facts, you can now have facts with a conservative bias.
Surely though, the nerdiest, most obscure Wiki ever is HabeasWiki, a wiki site focused on the practice of habeas corpus law in the United States. Fabulous stuff. If you can find something more arcane, let me know.
