Tuesday is a day to celebrate the broader wikiverse! Post links to wikis that you think others will find interesting! Some of my faves: Wookiepedia, Fallout/Elder Scrolls Wikis, Know Your Meme, TV Tropes, AARoads.

Please follow the typical posting rules here: format is

Title (editorialization)
NSFW wikis allowed as long as they're flagged as such,

Please only post true wikis! As in, using wiki software and collaboratively/iteratively edited.

Edit: feel free to post the links in the main community, not just here in the comments

Development of Half-Life 2 from Combine OverWiki

A deep, branching rabbit warren documenting various topics about Valve's development efforts, including the infamous leak. This is the kind of stuff I'm glad to be able to read about thanks to topic-specific wikis.

Also, what do you think about sharing articles in the main community instead of in a megathread like this? It would make our links a lot more visible, so effectively implementing relaxed rules on Tuesdays to allow interesting articles from outside Wikipedia.

Sure. This is just about experimenting with formats. Dress rehearsal and whatnot. Feel free to post in the main community.
