Miniwiki would be a kind of Wikipedia, with the difference that its articles are rather short. This is handy for people wanting to have quick info without having to read a lot of text. Ultimately, a page would not require scrolling down, or requier scrolling down just a little bit. Articles would also not require to follow all internal links to be able to understand the text.
