What is WikiAnimal?

WikiAnimal is a wiki website focused on the animal kingdom. It is an online platform that allows the animal enthusiast community to collaboratively create, edit, and organise content. The term "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian word for "quick" or "fast," reflecting the quick and easy nature of editing and updating wiki pages.

The collaborative nature of WikiAnimal empowers the animal enthusiast community to work together to create, refine, and update content in a transparent and inclusive manner. This fosters a sense of ownership and engagement among contributors and helps build a vibrant community around shared interests and knowledge.

The 3 main components of WikiAnimal

WikiAnimal is composed of three open source software platforms: MediaWiki (the same as Wikipedia), HumHub and FreshRSS.

The Wiki
