The CHHHP is a Semantic MediaWiki project, which is built on the same platform as Wikipedia but includes semantic extensions that allow properties (variables) to be stored in a database and queried to produce information.

This wiki is administered by the CHHHP team and attempts to adhere to the five pillars of WikiEditing.
