I hate how this was framed by the writer, really silly. just because you create a wiki dedicated to a particular topic doesn’t mean it’s “rogue”. That’s just the nature of it. Wikipedia is not a place to host everyone’s wiki.

I had the feeling the author is meaning rogue in a positive way here. At least the article sounds quite positive and impressed about that project.
