I contribute to #wikipedia and other projects on #mediawiki engine and other wikis like #mdn. When I talk with somebody about his technical problem - sometimes I say something like "...and when you finally figure out the root cause - please check some related wiki about that and 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧". Yep, please. Corporate Wikis/Confluence also. When you write - it is improving your understanding. Bring awareness. Help people. And after a few years - you will google the same problem. If no Wiki for some project - you can create question and answer it on https://superuser.com

It can be just a few lines - like 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 - 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑐𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠.

Not #reddit - their user content license is not clear.

    I think, one also could create their own site published on a free platform. Possible benefits include the following: - It may serve as a personal knowledge base. - It could help others. - You could share a link to reply to somebody's question (saves time). - You can use it as part of your portfolio to demonstrate your expertise and grow your personal brand.

    Site will die after the death of the author - when nobody pay for hosting/domain.

    External community is like independent validator - about views and rating (like Reddit, Habr). Wiki will be improved by other people.

    It is also possible to post to Linkedin - with ability to share and as a portfolio.

    You're right. What do you think about GitHub/GitLab Pages for this purpose?

    Maybe, better to contribute to something that already exists.
