EDIT: Seems that wikibooks/wikivoyage will work, thanks for the awesome suggestions!
So I want to create a page in Wikipedia but the more I write it out the more I realize that it is probably a little outside the scope of Wikipedia because it leans a little towards a guide and a little less towards an encyclopaedia article.
I guess my question is does anyone know of a good place to have something like that? It needs to be free and open to the public and open for anyone to edit and foss.
I know that there is the option of using wiki hostings to host a specific wiki but I think that that’s an overkill because it can be summed up in a single article.
So does anyone know of a place which is similar to Wikipedia but a little more loose in its guidelines as to what content can be uploaded? Specifically guides.
For howto guides there is wikihow, though its license is noncommercial only iirc.
Wikibooks might also be suitable, as someone said. The other editors there are less insane about rule enforcement than wikipedia’s, anyway.
If you can say what your topic is, that could help.
Local hiking guides with notes and warnings and explanations about different weather conditions, etc.
Wikibooks might be ok for that.
There are wikis specifically for travel guides too, e.g. Wikivoyage, Wikitravel.
Yeah! I saw it now, seems like a good fit!
