https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCode https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCode links to some such attempts. For generic stuff, like sorting, Wikipedia already has it covered (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort ) Thus one could point to examples "existing", but the question would be why are they not popular? And I'd hazard a hypothesis that is because most code programmers are going to write is highly context sensitive and the rest is going to come from libraries. NPM, Packagist, PyPI, RubyGems, etc. are popular and could be considered "wikicodes" in a sense. StackOverflow and StackExchange cover most everything else.
