For example, ext4.wiki.kernel.org. We've largely abandoned it, in favor of using Documentation in the kernel sources, because if you leave it "updated by anyone", unless you have people constantly watching for spam or trash updates which have to be reverted, it quickly becomes a mess. Or you can keep tight control over who you give accounts to, but then it doesn't get updated all that often. Keeping the documentation in sync with the kernel sources means it's much more likely for the documentation to be updated when the kernel is updated, and so for example we've migrated: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Disk_Layout to: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/ext4/index.html with the sources available at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/tree/Documentation/filesystems/ext4 ... and been much happier with the result.
