I recently came across this wiki:

It seemed a lot better than Wikipedia for what I wanted to look up.
Has anyone else come across this wiki before?
It launched to modest fanfare last year, but I hadn't seen much about it since.
It looks like their main focus has been batch imports of content from

though. Compare all edits (dominated by automatic imports) versus
mainspace edits (which trickle in slowly):
