IFWiki:Community portal
From IFWiki
IFWiki is a wiki containing information about interactive fiction, including IF history, theory, craft, tools, and people. IFWiki serves as both a historical record of community knowledge and a guide to resources for playing and creating interactive fiction.
Since 2022 IFWiki has been overseen by the IFWiki Committee of the Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation.
