The FamilySearch Wiki is a free, 24/7 online research guide for family history and genealogy that provides information on records, research strategies, and online collections for localities worldwide. It acts as a central reference point, explaining what kinds of historical records exist, where to find them, and what information they contain. It does not host actual family trees but instead helps users plan their research by directing them to appropriate record types and archives for specific locations.
You can find much information by going to the Main wiki page and going to the many videos and articles on the internet that explain how to use its many many resources. The knowledge article "FamilySearch Wiki: Purpose, Policies and Procedures" contains a lot of valuable info on the who, what, and why of FamilySearch developing it Wiki pages. By the way the word Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning Quick.
