Storytelling by wiki: Fictopedia is a collection of little tales, remixes of reality with imagination.
For example, on the Sombrero:
somberos are hats worn by indigenous people in the Southern climates of the Western hemisphere, traditionally during periods of extreme dourness...
Somberos are characterized by wide and unfunny rims, tall, serious peaks, and dour and completely to-the-point filligree depicting moments of great and humorless import in myth or history.
Or an awesome imaginary video game:
Schmaxilla follows the the protagonist, a sharpshooting cybernetic swashbuckler named Axil, on a quest to rescue the Orange Key from the forces of Dark Tremor who wishes to use its strato-scientific power force to unlock the mysteries of the universe- and harness them for Zoastrian villainy. Axil's main weapon consists of launching his own shoulder blades, which can be augmented with a variety of power-ups.
Fascinating how the encyclopedia model persists as a popular one for wiki writing.
