I was watching Cinema therapy's DUNE episode and i googled what was on Alan's shirt and this popped up. It claims to be an unofficial encyclopedia, and while i doubt its 1:1 with fandom, IMO an encyclopedia is just a wiki by a more sophisticated name, what else would it be if not that?

As you can see from the example article linked above about ingen, its close enough i'd say and i'd very much be surprised if the jurassic pedia wasnt hosted by passionate fan members themselves.

Just wanted to note, this hasn't fallen off my radar. There are just several things to consider and review, including that Jurassic-Pedia is not exactly a wiki, and reviewing whether it's possible to support the site through Indie Wiki Buddy (fairly consistent article paths, search endpoint, etc.).

As far as I can tell, this Wordpress site is not publicly editable. According to the FAQ

What can I do if I have either noticed an error, want to expand a particular area that isn’t properly covered by you that I happen to know, or even revise one of your articles if it is missing critical information that was overlooked? There are a variety of ways to get involved with us. Ideally, the best place is to register on our message board with a proposal so we can review it and discuss it. Oftentimes times if the proposal is something we definitely can use or even feel that we need we will update the relevant articles whenever we can on the next rotation in our staff. Every proposal given, even from regular contributors who have access is always properly verified for accuracy, authenticity, and suitability. If one is looking to get involved with the site after submission and review of their proposal it very well can lead to a contributor status being granted in lieu of having to go through the application process and having to apply with a writing sample. This isn’t always a “guaranteed in” though, but loyalty shown is loyalty earned and we will always reward people for demonstrating such initiative and even welcome it.

I believe this fails the first criterion for inclusion

The wiki should be editable by the public (that's what makes a wiki a wiki!)
