I don't see how a federated wikipedia would work. Even if you banned obvious trolls, how would you deal with contentious issues? Federation isn't some magical technologies that immediately makes everything better.
An emphasis on self-hosting is not a good idea in my opinion. It is great that we are not locked into a commercial provider but most people don't want to self-host. Self-hosting is work. Some people will certainly do that but thankfully some of them allow the rest of us to use their service. While I can run my own mastadon, I don't want to. (That being said, it should be easy to setup a self-host. I was on a Hubzilla instance but it broke and the admin could not figure out how to fix it. For Hubzilla they provide support using Hubzilla. So if you have a problem on your instance, you need to register on another instance so you can ask for help.)
