EDIT: Seems that wikibooks/wikivoyage will work, thanks for the awesome suggestions!

So I want to create a page in Wikipedia but the more I write it out the more I realize that it is probably a little outside the scope of Wikipedia because it leans a little towards a guide and a little less towards an encyclopaedia article.

I guess my question is does anyone know of a good place to have something like that? It needs to be free and open to the public and open for anyone to edit and foss.

I know that there is the option of using wiki hostings to host a specific wiki but I think that that's an overkill because it can be summed up in a single article.

So does anyone know of a place which is similar to Wikipedia but a little more loose in its guidelines as to what content can be uploaded? Specifically guides.

maybe Wikibooks? Not very familiar with what they accept or not.

Awesome, I didn't know Wikipedia has so many different wiki types. I'll check wiki books and others out. Thank you!
