(possibly) promotional paragraph

the third paragraph of this article, the part talking about wikipedia, sounds a little promotional to me. it mentions some extra content about wikipedia that is either not necessary, or conveyed in a way to make wikipedia sound special in some way. but i'm a student, and i don't know everything about grammar, tone, and stuff like that so idk, tell me what you guys think and if we should change it

External links: WikiApiary

There's a problem with the WikiApiary link. Clicking leads to 504 Gateway Time-out at https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Main_Page. After first arriving there deleting wiki/Main_Page resulted in text appearing on its main page but repeating that since then has only led to 504 on the page.

The wiki you have written about is not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation. Many wikis exist outside of the projects hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. We have no control over, nor affiliation with, those wikis. Please note that whilst other sites may also use MediaWiki software and therefore look similar to our projects, or may have a name that includes 'Wiki-' or '-pedia', or a similar domain name, the only projects which are part of the Wikimedia Foundation are those listed at https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Our_projects. You may wish to use a search engine or other resource to locate the appropriate contact address. Primefac (talk) 12:23, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If the site is still down after a week, you could try filing a Phabricator task tagged with wikiapiary or contacting one of the members listed there. Dexxor (talk) 14:03, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Free and open-source software

I have changed the "open-source" to "free and open-source", as nearly all open source wiki software are also free software (free as in freedom), being under permissive or copyleft free software licenses. Comrade-yutyo (talk) 08:19, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
