There are wikis, then there are BIG WIKIS

I must admit (to my shame) before this course Wikipedia was the only wiki I accessed. Its great for basic info and as a starting place for research. Wikia (http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia) has opened my eyes to all the really cool wikis out there. I particularly liked their big wikis page which lists the top 16 largest wikis (based on number of articles each contains). Here are the stats I found interesting, out of the top 16, 4 of them including the largest are about MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) like World of Warcraft and Runescape, there are 5 about various Movie/TV shows mainly sci fi eg. Star Wars and Star Trek with the Muppets being a bit of a standout, there are 2 about comics one based on Marvel and one on DC Comics, the rest of the top 16 are made up of wikis about recipes, psychology, family history and the weird and wacky Uncyclopedia which bills itself as a content-free encyclopedia. Wikis are fun, informative and interactive (which I think is the bit I like the best).
