This wiki is an open, independent platform dedicated to preserving and expanding knowledge that is frequently rejected, minimized, or erased by traditional encyclopedias. Many articles about women, non-binary individuals, people of color, and other marginalized groups are often dismissed or deleted, reflecting systemic biases that prioritize certain voices over others. By creating this space, we aim to challenge these exclusions and provide a platform where overlooked perspectives can thrive. Everyone is welcome to contribute, ensuring that history, achievements, and stories are documented fairly and inclusively.
