In the ubuntu Q/A and some of the other stackexchange Q/As', I keep running into references to community wikis. So, where are these wikis? I've looked all around and see no links to wikis.
I'm new to the site, so maybe I'm just missing something.

There is a definition of "Community Wiki" available on the Stack Overflow meta site. As far as I know the information there applies to all other sites built on the Stack Exchange engine.
As I understand it a community wiki question is owned by the whole community instead of an individual user. As a result a lower bar is set for the reputation score needed to do certain things (like edits), and up/down votes do not have the affect reputation scores they would on a normal question.
Update: As noted here by Erigami and this answer on the Finding community wikis question, a list of community wiki questions can be obtained by using the search term "wiki:1". Here's a link to the results of that search on the parent site:
https://askubuntu.com/search?q=wiki:1
I am not aware of any method to get a definitive list of questions that have been set to community wiki.
See the Finding community wikis question. Apparently you can add wiki:1 to limit your search to wikis.
community wikis are questions which say community wiki underneath the author of the question.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1598/what-was-your-most-satisfying-hack-using-ubuntu is an example for this.
