postindustrialization = an economic model that isn’t based on the intense manufacturing that characterized the industrial era (nor is it necessarily a majority agrarian like previous eras).
I don’t think I’d use the term to refer to a specific organization like wiki, but it’s definitely the product of a postindustrial society.
