There are [[mw:Sites_using_MediaWiki|lists of wikis]], but this is not that. We're going to start a This is series of showcase articles on outstanding wikis, while making just like the case for MediaWiki and [https://QualityBoxwww.us QualityBoxdrupal.com/showcases Drupal Showcase] shows off [[Drupal]]. Since we're focused on '''Enterprise Wikis''', we're not going to be covering any of the WikiMedia Foundation wiki projects<ref>Some stats on WMF wikis</ref>. Meanwhile, we'll start off with this anti-case: https://neosmart.net/wiki/ People have come to associate 'wiki' with 'Knowledge Base'. Unfortunately, this 'wiki' is running on WordPress - which just isn't suited for the task at hand. While I applaud NeoSmart for offering up a vast collection of knowledge, you can instantly see how being constrained to structuring 'documents' by some hierarchy or tagging scheme alone is just not enough.
== Uses ==
== Showcase ==
We'll be adding forms and layouts to make this whole section much more robust... but we'll just cite a couple (of the thousands of) wikis here now. If you know of a wiki that should be in our showcase, please get a free 'wiki report' so it gets added to our database, and be sure to add your email address so we know who to interview.
== Company Showcase ==
We're also building a Company Showcase to show off the successful businesses like [https://www.vt-s.net/ Virtual Town & Schools] which use Free Software as a foundation for their business. VTS uses [[Drupal]] as a foundation for providing technology services to Towns and Schools. For example, they do the [https://www.salisburyma.gov/ Town of Salisbury] website - and it's a LOT better than it used to be under a proprietary / home-grown system.
[https://ceopedia.org/index.php/Special:Statistics CEO pedia] should be a site with a huge following. But, like all things on the Internet, it doesn't come close to the popularity of [http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Special:Statistics Boob pedia] (NSFW)
