Mediawiki also has RSS and syndication features that might interop, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped.... The article lists neat examples of interop with Mastadon, Bluesky, Podcast, etc. Hadn’t thought to try it before, but NetNewsWire easily found the mediawiki.org feed.

Hyperlinks. It’s surprising to me how many people are still learning about hyperlinks between pages or to references. People still tend to use a physical book / card catalog mindset to organizing information. Reference lists instead of hyperlinks. Document numbers instead of URLs.
