What Telepedia is

Telepedia hosts public, community-run wikis about topics such as television, movies, games, anime and manga, books and comics, and music. Users can create a wiki with a wizard without waiting for approval, or ask Telepedia to migrate an existing one. Wikis use MediaWiki, free and open-source software, and administrators can manage settings, extensions, namespaces, user groups and permissions through ConfigCentre. Available extensions include VisualEditor, MobileFrontend, YouTube and interactive maps; administrators can request others for Telepedia to evaluate. Some extensions, including Graph, Widgets, SemanticMediaWiki, SocialProfile and chat or email tools, are not supported. Telepedia generally does not host private or restricted-group communities, and its content policy excludes some categories, including pornography and misinformation. It may install and manage advertisements that wiki owners cannot remove or change. The service is web-based, offers a Support desk, and provides XML dumps when a wiki leaves, but not image dumps. Telepedia says identifiable information is generally retained for up to 90 days, with certain request records kept for one year.
