This Repository contains publicly shared, freely usable, community-maintained Articles and Data to mix into your personal Knowledge Bases.

All Content is shared using the permissive CC-BY-SA License, compatible with Wikipedia.

But better than Wikipedia, you can…

• easily synchronize this with a local sub-folder on your local computer and keep personal and public information separate.
• simply update and expand the SpocWiki Data and push the changes back to the community for everyone to benefit
• capture and share additional or personal Information
• keep this information on your local computer, private and safe
• use a wide array of tools to query and process the data, because it is simply text
• query this information, because most data is semantically annotated using Schema-Types with Attributes

Eventually, Wikipedia and WikiData Content will be synchronized into this Repository, so you don’t need to capture anything that already exists there.

Rather create an issue describing which data you would like to see here.

Other open Data Sources (e.g. Government and statistical Data) will either be linked or integrated.

But such a step that requires some planning and mutual agreement within this community.

Articles can be tagges with multiple #Labels. This makes them easier to find or browse.

Have a look at our List of all Tags and Articles!

Currently most articles contain mostly data and less text, but with time the search box above will guide you to your goal.

This Repository can be cloned or referenced as a GIT Submodule in other Wikis.

Especially Obsidian Vaults allow to conveniently browse and query this data in arbitrary ways and form Tables from it.

But any other Markdown-based Software can process this, too. We would love to hear your use-cases for this data!

Pull-Requests with your changes or additions are very welcome, but read how to contribute first!

The License is chosen to be compatible with Wikipedia and Wikidata, so that Information can freely be exchanged with this Repository and many other sources.

To limit the Size of this Repository, large Sub-Repositories are singled out, so you can cloned and version them independently.

An important one is the ‘xLarge’ (eXtra large) Module, dedicated to store ‘Attachments’, i.e. large, binary Files. When mounted directly in Obsidian, this Folder should be marked as the Destination for Attachments. The name was chosen deliberately to place it at the end of the Folder List

SubModules proved to create friction and conflicts in a highly distributed System of Wiki-Repositories.

SubModules offer the Benefit of including all required Modules optionally, but they fix the Module’s Version/Hash and therefore need to be updated regularly to keep up with the linked Content.

Especially with nested Sub-Modules, Conflicts in Hashes are very likely, hard to resolve, and factually irrelevant. Therefore the Modules should typically be cloned into an ignored Folder and versioned independently. Nonetheless, private Repositories may find it useful to include this Repository as a Sub-Module for ease of use.
