Not quite 1:1 with fandom which operates for-profit but I can say almost any wiki on fandom is largely edited by anywhere from 0-4 people, and in many cases it is 0 because there is significantly less motivation to contribute to something that isn’t a wholly community project and is instead benefitting some corporation.
Oh yeah, I’m aware, I was involved with some Fandom wikis too in the past, even back when it was still called “Wikia”.
Unfortunately, for many communities there isn’t a good alternative, since not many people have the time and resources to host one themselves.
The thing is, if you solve that income-tech barrier then it will change the game. Most communities do want a wiki and will work on one in much higher numbers than fandom gets if they think it’s actually there to serve the community instead of make money for someone. So if that “I don’t know how” and “I don’t have money to host” and “it’s scawy!” barrier can be removed you’d see a lot more work go into basically all of them.
