Does anyone still care about wikis?

Everyone knows if they want their stuff to appear on the internet it's only a button-push away.

So why bother with wiki technology which is like 10 years old and involves so much hassle like code and arguing with nerds and pretending to know stuff?

Are any public wikis besides Wikipedia actually thriving?

All I see these days is wikis dying, getting absorbed into that craphole Wikia, or stagnating like Citizendium, Conservapedia, etc.
