Lol jawa21 you missed a great "I use Arch BTW" opportunity. Hmmm, Miraheze, I didn't know it existed! I think technically it might count as a FOSS implementation, as it is free and uses Mediawiki. Since they manage the hosting, there wouldn't be any direct access to the instance's code, but there's still the option to do a data export in the event of a necessary migration.

This does look good on paper, lemme look at this some more. I'm trying to picture how this would work for this use case, and I don't see any red flags just yet. Yeah, solid so far.

odds are that pure accessibility and low maintenance/hosting costs are going to have to be considered first a

Omg I feel called out. Haha, the context of accessibility is slightly different here, but I'm actually the resident web accessibility expert at work. Yeah, I use a screen reader to test functional WCAG compliance for some of our products and have to make recommendations for fixes, if not fix it myself, amongst other things. I'm actually working on a presentation about it. Yeah, this thing would serve others best if it is inclusive. Aight I gotta jet, lemme get back to you on this.

Any other thoughts that come to mind, don't hesitate to post it here.

I created an account at Miraheze and put in a request for a wiki, which has to be manually approved. The queue has a three day backlog at the moment, so it might be a hot minute before I can give it a test spin. That is, if it's approved.

I'm probably showing my age, but I really miss Geocities, you know? You had all kinds of cool niche special interest sites about all kinds of things, and this would've fit right in there.
