Nostr itself is a wiki (hat tip to for that idea), but it also has specialized wiki events.

You can view them over the URL bar, already, and some of the publication content is actually 30818 wiki pages, not 30041 sections.

Example
https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=mirepoix
is the same as
https://wikistr.com/mirepoix*dd664d5e4016433a8cd69f005ae1480804351789b59de5af06276de65633d319

And this document only contains wiki pages, arranged in a 30040 index:
https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/publication?d=gitcitadel-project-documentation-by-stella-v-1

However, what happens if "mirepoix" has two results (it does)? Currently, we show the newest one, but we will #thoon be showing a wiki disambiguation page. It will display the wiki pages prominently, at the top, and allow you to CRUD your own, defer to or recommend those from others, etc. But it will also have a semantic/topic search bar that will return wider results from the community (which, in our instance, is theforest 🌲), regardless of kind. So, when you type in "mirepoix", this here kind 01 note will appear in the results. You will also receive pictures people have posted about soup vegetables, videos of soup veggies being chopped, recipes people posted in 30023 notes about making Suppengemüse, etc. And you can then filter and sort those results, like on the publication feed.

So, if you want to see everything anyone on Nostr wrote about "Wuthering Heights", you go to the wiki page and type in "Wuthering Heights" and we show you everything we can find, with any wiki pages (which are essentially curated search results) on the top. We will find more or less, depending upon which relays you have access to.

Every page (publication, wiki, articles, events, visualize, social) will be both a navigator and a viewer, and context-sensitive to the page.

Because we're a library for Nostr and the Nostr library contains all sorts of library items. Modern card catalogs are semantic search engines.
