There's an alternative community encyclopedia to Wikipedia known as Wikia. It's free, allows images you own or have copyright without going through tortuous hoops as in Wikipedia - who aren't keen on less well-known authors doing anything there.

Consider using Wikia as exampled here with my ARIA Trilogy

I started building a Wikia page for my space opera series last year, but didn't get too far. Wikia is a great idea, but I've decided to focus on building my online encyclopedia for my series on my website. It's just more convenient for my readers and I know I have absolute control over the content. But I do expect to go back and polish up that Wikia page at some point in the near future.

Fair enough. On Wikia you can set it so that it is read only to viewers.
Good luck building your own!
