Qwika is a search engine that searches wikis. Qwika’s goal is to index all wiki content. There is still some work to do before that ambitious goal is reached, but in the latest update an additional 1,144 wikis and 21,964,380 articles were included in the index.

These wikis cover all sorts of topics including travel, music, genealogy, trains and games.

Most of the recently added wikis are hosted at Wikia, recently renamed from WikiCities. Wikia is a collection of communities with wikw based websites. They provide a level of detail that would not be considered encyclopedic in Wikipedia.

“A wide range of approaches and perspectives is available within these wikis” explains Luke Metcalfe of Rapid Intelligence, founder of the site. “Thousands of communities are cropping up around the web and coming together to create knowledge bases for their field. We at Qwika are bringing them all together in a single search”.

The new inclusion covers all wikis at Wikia in all twelve languages currently supported.
