Wikipedia is a multilingual open-collaborative online encyclopedia created and maintained by a community of volunteer editors using a wiki-based editing system. Wikipedia uses the same software that ProleWiki and EcuRed uses, called MediaWiki.
While Wikipedia's large number of editors is a strength compared to physical encyclopedias, its popularity means that it's a prime target for misinformation campaigns by state actors or corporate interests. This, in part, is the reasoning behind starting ProleWiki.
