You should try out Wikia. Make a "female friendly" Wikipedia, or something like that.

Thanks. Have been meaning to explore it for other uses. Did see http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page which was pretty amusing...


If you do decide to make a separate wiki for whatever reason, I'd suggest against Wikia with Uncyclopedia as a prime example of why it can be a bad idea - create or move a wiki there, and Wikia will never let you leave. Uncyclopedia, for instance, LEFT Wikia two years ago, but Wikia's practice is to keep the site there, and as a result, google searches still lead to that and not the new, much more active one at uncyclopedia.co.

If you register a domain and trademarks for your site ahead of time, this can help mitigate the damage as they will be forced to rename their copy should you later decide to leave, but they'll still keep up a mirror, and depending on how people were linking to it, google may decide that this mirror is still the main site later, again leading back to what Bjoern said.

You'd have enough battles to fight without having to deal with this sort of thing.
