If you do an Internet search for "genealogy WIKI", you will get some
54,600 
hits.  Some of the first ones are:

http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogy

http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Main_Page

And, of course, there is Cyndi's List at http://www.cyndislist.com/
 It is

not a WIKI, but, it has great references.

Good luck.
