The Independent Wiki Federation (IWF) is an interwiki alliance comprising likeminded, independently operated wikis and wiki farms. Founded in 2023, the IWF was founded to create a thriving community of independent wikis and to develop a network for high-expertise, technical support, free exchange of information, collaboration, and innovation.

The Constructed Worlds Wiki joined as the IWF's 12th member on December 17, 2023. Fizzyflapjack is Conworlds' official representative to the IWF.

Background

The IWF vision is to build a thriving community of independent wikis by providing the access, support, resources, and the expertise needed to maintain high-quality, self-sufficient, and independent wiki communities. We believe an expansive, diverse network of independent groups will empower each other’s communities to share knowledge and information freely. We believe that providing access to centralized, comprehensive libraries of supporting resources is essential to realizing our vision. Therefore, the IWF strives to be a vibrant hub for collaboration, innovation, and learning; that is supported by a united and resilient alliance of wikis. We are confident this creates a more open, transparent, and accessible world of knowledge free of corporate control.
