Is there a federated fandom wiki alternative? (lemmy.zip)

Always hated the ads and thought it would make sense for different fandoms to have their own instances.

I guess the self hosted open source aspect was more appealing. Servers could have more control over how their content is displayed than they do going through fandom. Being able to integrate wiki sections into posts in lemmy/mastodon could be cool. Reddit does have a wiki, and lemmy being a reddit clone, It would make sense to have a wiki for each community just for that reason. I remember that being useful when I frequented Reddit.

Normal wiki software already handles the "have more control over how content is displayed" part, and they can be offered as services for example Miraheze exists. Self-hosting makes sense for small stuff (and "small" here can quite reasonably mean "somewhat large" because the useful information in wikis is text and text is lightweight) but, aganin, that's something normal wiki software already does.
