What would be a good name for a federated Wikipedia? (lemmy.ml)

Let's say someone created a Wikipedia clone with Activitypub support, so you can freely read and edit articles on other servers. Basically the same way that Lemmy works. What would be a good name for such a project? Bonus points if the name goes with a cute animal mascot.

Edit: Here you can see the names of existing Fediverse projects.

Ibis ? Each article would be a parchment of knowledge. Check the myth and legends section : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_sacred_ibis

I like this, although it feels a bit too short.

I tried combining it with other words but none felt correct. Maybe " Ibis's library" as a nod to "Anna's archive"

The more I think about it, the more I like the name. Here is the freshly renamed repo, but its not released yet so 🤫

I thought pigeons were the sky rats but they got nothing on the mighty Ibises. Truly marvelous creatures.
