Federated wiki software? (lemmy.radio)

I absolutely love wiki walking through random obscure fan wikis, but I hate how most are on Fandom.

I think a federated wiki solution makes sense. I could see it as an evolution of the interwiki concept.

I've had this thought before, but have also wondered whether it's even possible to implement this using ActivityPub, considering that a wiki inherently requires having the same state everywhere, but ActivityPub allows instances to ban and defederate how they like (thus become desynchronized from each other).

I'm not thinking of a single distributed wiki, but something more like Fandom where you can edit pages on other wikis that are federated to yours.

That doesn't sound like a federated wiki but more like federated account management.

Yeah, people tend to mistake "federated" for "open alternative" 🤷

Sounds like single sign-on (SSO). Which is practically everywhere these days.
