 For instance the [[Green Party of Canada]] [http://greenparty.ca/lp at greenparty.ca/lp] implements its [[Living Platform]] [[wiki-based policy development]] and [[Living Agenda]] [[wiki-based governance]] projects with a single [[tikiwiki]], using varying [[user permission]]s and [[user group]]s.  This is an experiment and it's not clear it will work out.
-The [[Wikipedia]] has used separate [[namespace]]s within one wiki to address most operational day to day problems, with such pages as [[w:Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Troll]] and [[w:Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress]] being part of the "Wikipedia:" namespace.  However it retains separate [[m:|meta]] wikis and others to address different issues, like [[Simple English Wikipedia]] to address simpler [[vocabulary]] needs for certain audiences.  So it is not a pure '''one wiki model''' but has tried to keep as much as possible in the main Wikipedia space.  What's more it does so with few [[user permission]]s applying to reading (only the ability to [[delete page]]s is a limit on what can be read), and a few more on writing - a [[sysop]] can [[protect page]]s or [[revert page]]s.

 The [[Anarchopedia]] eliminates sysop monopoly on the ability to [[undelete page]]s and so there are no controls on reading.  This is the most open model most compatible with [[free software]] and [[open source]] [[mindset]]s.  It remains to be seen if it can resolve various problems with language & power.
