Wikicities is a macro-wiki, a collection of wikis run by various communities, all of which run on MediaWiki, the same software used by Wikipedia. It could be described as a hosting service for wiki-projects, and is itself organized as a wiki. All Wikicities are hosted on Linux servers using squid cache acceleration.

Apart from a few common-sense restrictions, to preclude the uploading of obscene or illegal material, anyone can found a wikicity in any language. To gain approval for the creation of a wikicity, would-be founders have to make a mission statement specifying the objectives of the project. As of 6 December 2004, ten projects have been started. Wikicities provides both technical and social support for all aspects of running a wiki community.

Wikicities makes all content available under a free content licence. This means the information can be reused, not only in other Wikicities, but by anyone.
