Miraheze VS Citizendium

Miraheze seems to be offering a platform to create private wikis and it runs the same software as Wikipedia. You do need to fill out a form and request a wiki but after that you and people you specify should be able to see and edit that wiki (with the exception of the main page which can be seen by everyone).

For those looking for an alternative to fandom https://miraheze.org is a good choice. Not for profit and they use vanilla mediawiki (what wikipedia uses) instead of whatever abomination fandom has going on. Source: over 1 year ago

> the only conclusion is that the system is flawed. There's a need for a fundamental change in approach There are attempts of creating more "professional" electronic encyclopedia like Citizendium [1] and Scholarpedia [2] but it seems that such tasks are rather hard since Wikipedia solidified its position already, despite flaws [1] - https://en.citizendium.org/ [2] - http://www.scholarpedia.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Larry Sanger was more or less evicted from Wikipedia because his viewpoints and personality conflicted with virtually everyone else, which was, as it still is, made of a broad group of people across the globe. He was with Wikipedia for a year and has criticized the project since he left after his salary was cut. His follow up project, Citizendium is dead. Source: over 2 years ago

Sanger hasn't built anything that amounted to anything. He's been involved with a bunch of failed projects like Citizendium, most of which were based on the premise that Wikipedia is broken because 1) it allows anyone to contribute and 2) it's not conservative enough. History has proved him wrong. Source: almost 3 years ago
