In their own words
Huijiwiki
Huijiwiki is a hosted wiki farm where users can apply to create topic-focused wikis. It is built on MediaWiki and combines Semantic MediaWiki with a Bootstrap-based interface; its server side uses Huijiwiki’s DragonPit architecture. The platform supports semantic solutions and MongoDB-based structured data, while wiki operators can add their own styles and scripts. Content and functions support responsive reading and editing on mobile devices. Huijiwiki can migrate data from Wikia, Gamepedia and other MediaWiki-based sites. It supports the MediaWiki API and adds interfaces of its own. On sites using its WeChat public platform integration, users can send a term and receive lookup results. The maker lists security measures including SSL, encrypted storage of privacy information and data-center access controls. Registration and applications to create a hosted wiki are free, but approval is not guaranteed. The service does not offer private deployment or access-permission features, and the maker advises against using it for personal notes.
World Anvil
World Anvil is a browser-based set of tools for creating, organizing and storing settings for games, novels and comics. Its wiki supports linked articles, categories, tags and search across a world. Interactive maps connect locations to articles, while timelines track events across eras or parallel histories. Campaign tools provide a digital GM screen, statblocks, NPC creation, character sheets and session reports connected with campaign notes. Online novel-writing software works with the wiki, allowing setting details to be referenced and edited while drafting. Listed integrations include Discord, Google Analytics and Patreon links. Private material is visible only to the user and authorized collaborators, and autosaved work is backed up across multiple servers and in the cloud. World Anvil requires an internet connection; mobile use is through an optimized browser, with no mobile app. The Freeman plan allows two worlds, 42 articles and 100 MB storage.
