ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

.wiki

Hello! Have you ever heard of a website called Wikipedia? It's a place on the internet where people can share information about all sorts of things like history, science, and even movies.

Well, .wiki is kind of like Wikipedia, but instead of being a website where people share information, it's a special way to make a website address. You know how when you want to go to a website, you type in www and then the name of the website? Like www.google.com or www.youtube.com? .wiki is another option to use instead of .com or .org or .net.

So, let's say you wanted to make your own website all about your favorite animals. You could use .wiki as part of your website address to show that it's a website where people can share information. And people who want to learn about your favorite animals could go to your website to read articles, see pictures, and maybe even write their own ideas about your favorite animals!
