==== City wikis ==== A ''city wiki'' or ''local wiki'' is a wiki used as a [[knowledge management|knowledge base]] and [[social network]] for a specific [[geography|geographical]] locale.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Andersen |first=Michael |title=Welcome to Davis, Calif.: Six lessons from the world's best local wiki|date=2009-11-06 |url=https://www.niemanlab.org/2009/11/welcome-to-davis-calif-six-lessons-from-the-worlds-best-local-wiki/|access-date=2023-01-06|website=Nieman Lab|archive-date=August 8, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130808084426/https://www.niemanlab.org/2009/11/welcome-to-davis-calif-six-lessons-from-the-worlds-best-local-wiki/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=McGann |first=Laura |title=Knight News Challenge: Is a wiki site coming to your city?

Such a wiki contains information about specific instances of things, ideas, people and places. Such highly localized information might be appropriate for a wiki targeted at local viewers, and could include: * Details of public establishments such as public houses, bars, accommodation or social centers * Owner name, opening hours and statistics for a specific shop * Statistical information about a specific road in a city * Flavors of ice cream served at a local ice cream parlor * A biography of a local mayor and other persons
