[[Image:Sagan large.jpg|thumb|[[Carl Sagan]] with a model of the Viking Lander in Death Valley California. [[Viking 1]] and [[Viking 2|2]] were the first spacecraft to [[Viking_lander_biological_experiments | search for present day life on Mars]], indeed, the only spacecraft to ever search for life outside of Earth. But with new discoveries about the possibilities for liquid water both in microhabitats on Mars and the subsurface oceans of Europa and Enceladus, and the ethane / methane seas of Titan this is a top priority for future missions.]]

These wikis are also developed from Wikipedia pages originally:
 
* [http://microtonal.miraheze.org MicrotonalEncyclopedia of Microtonality]
* [http://encyclopediaofbuddhism.org Encyclopedia of Buddhism] - set up by Dorje108 with me as co-admin.
* [http://doomsdaydebunked.miraheze.org Doomsday Debunked]
 
For the background to why we set up new encyclopedias, instead of working on the pages in Wikipedia itself, see [[Astrobiology Encyclopedia:Background to this encyclopedia|background to this encyclopedia]]. Also see my science blog post here:
