I’m looking for a wiki to use and contribute to that provides information similar to what AllTrails provides, and functions similarly to Wikipedia. I would like for the wiki’s data to be free and open, and for it to operate under a reasonably permissive license.

    But I’m not sure how open it really is.

    Unfortunately, the copyright on their content is too restrictive for something that I’d want to contribute to.

    The User is only authorised to access and use the Website, the Applications and the Services and to download the contents thereof for personal and non-commercial or collective use, except for the cases expressly authorised by Wikiloc. Except in those cases where expressly authorized, the User is expressly prohibited to reproduce or distribute for other purposes, as well as to transform, create derivative works of any kind, communicate to the public, make available, extract, reuse or otherwise use the Website, the Applications or the Services or any part thereof. [Wikiloc ToS §1.6]

    Komoot is another one that clearly is commercial but based on user contributions. https://www.komoot.com/

    It’s not immediately clear to me how they license their data, but it seems to be that they are restrictive:

    The user can use the offered export functions to print out associated data of necessary parts of the selected individually planned tour or export them to a target device and / or to a mobile device equipped with a chip for positioning. The user is explicitly prohibited to export, distribute or publish tours in other ways than with the offered export function. [Komoot ToS §1.4]
