Even if this is true (and I don't think it is, given that the 7th most visited website on the planet is just one of its projects), you are allowed to fix it. The source (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki) and contents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download) are all available for you to go and host yourself.

Business models of Free and Open Source software
One mostly unviable way would be the donation. Lots of project enable way to donate fund. Linux Foundation, Mozilla, and many others. It looks like it's not usually a sufficient source. One actor who rely (almost) only on donation is Wikipedia/mediawiki, through the Wikimedia Foundation. Donation may be enough for specific (and possibly big) projects.

Sounds like a wiki. Personally, I use Bookstack to document stuff I want to remember, as it's easy to use and logically organized.
