Federated Wiki (formerly Smallest Federated Wiki) is a collaborative knowledge application developed by Ward Cunningham which adds forking features found in source control systems and other software development tools to wikis.^[1] The project was launched at IndieWebCamp 2011.^[2] The software allows its users to fork wiki pages, maintaining their own copies.

Federation supports what Cunningham has described as "a chorus of voices" where users share content but maintain their individual perspectives.^[3] This approach contrasts with the tendency of centralized wikis such as Wikipedia to function as consensus engines.^[4]
