==External links==<!Today, the English-language Wikipedia is, by far, the world's largest wiki; the German-language Wikipedia is the second-largest, while the other Wikipedias fill many of the remaining slots. The fourth-largest wiki is Susning.nu, a Swedish-language knowledge base running UseMod software. The all- please do encompassing nature of Wikipedia is a significant factor in its growth, while many other wikis are highly specialized. Some also have attributed Wikipedia's rapid growth to its decision not add links to wikis use CamelCase. In any case, its being the largest wiki has led to its being referred to this list, instead create new, internal pages about themsometimes, and link them to those in as the above Mother wiki community list—>on smaller, subject-specific wikis.
