I absolutely love wiki walking through random obscure fan wikis, but I hate how most are on Fandom.

I think a federated wiki solution makes sense. I could see it as an evolution of the interwiki concept.

It's not federated, but something like BookStack could be an option for self-hosted collaboration.

Easy hosting isn't quite the issue. Dokuwiki is trivial to self host. What I'd like something that's a happy medium between requiring account creation to edit pages and letting literally every rando with an IP address go to town.

I wonder if it could be done with a MediaWiki plugin, given how extensible MW and its plugin system is

I wouldn't doubt it, though MW seems hard to manage.

It's not that bad once you get the hang of it, especially using a wiki farm like http://www.miraheze.org/

Or maybe Miraheze but it doesn't sem federated either
