Fandom Wikis

So, I was thinking about all this wikis-for-fandoms (and texts/shows) stuff.

And you know what? I own www.fandomwiki.com, which will in time house a kind of aca-fen fandom-pedia (hopefully).

I was thinking I could offer subdomains there for other fandoms that want to create wikis for their shows (and/or fandoms).

So for example,
http://supernatural.fandomwiki.com
http://dexter.fandomwiki.com
http://smallville.fandomwiki.com

etc.

I know that there are already fandom wikis out there (for eg. http://heroeswiki.com), but yaknow, surely not all of fandoms are accounted for, and surely there are folks around interested in managing/administrating such a thing, if they had the space and configuration/installation taken care of for them.

So, questions:

- would people be interested?

- if so, how to 'advertise' this availability? I'm not the best at disseminating information to such a wide 'audience'.

This IS my homework...

ANYONE ON MY FLIST INVOLVED IN ANY FANDOM WHATSOEVER PLIS READ INSTEAD OF SCROLLING

So here's a thought: a fandom wikipedia. Multifandom, a one-stop-shop for terminology, pairing names, significant communities and events, anything you wanted, really. Because you would be the editors/creators. I'm enthused by this idea, and am willing to purchase a domain name and space specifically for it, as well as install the wiki software. Two questions:

1. Do you know if there's an existing fandom wiki or something like it out there?

2. Would you use it? (And by that I mean not only use it as a reference, but submit information to it.)
