There are many specialized best practices websites that catalogue best practices for specific types of organizations or specific work area of activity.
One example of a best practices website with a specific type of organization focus is the website, Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki, that has compiled best practices for libraries. An example of a best practices website that has a specific work area focus is the, Project Management Hut, that has a compilation of best practices related to project management.
Readers should note that the Best Practices Wiki simply catalogues and provides this information, does not evaluate these sites, promote these sites or comment on their missions. Some sites are pure non-profit organizations. Some are non-profits that sell or promote services. Some are for profits sites. Some are governmental sponsored sites.
Some websites listed here have as a primary focus best practices. Others have best practices as one of many functions of their websites.

website description
Since 1995, we’ve led and facilitated peer groups for hundreds of business leaders, in which the participants discuss business ‘best practices,’ and share ideas and solutions. During that time, we’ve facilitated nearly 500 separate peer group meetings, in which literally thousands of ‘best practice’ ideas have been presented and discussed.
This web site and blog have been developed to serve as a repository for some of the ideas we’ve already discussed, and to provide a forum in which to document our continuing dialogue.
While our goal in launching this web site is to share as much as possible with the general business community, access to certain sections of this web site are restricted to those current participants in our Best Practices Boards program. - a repository and blog of business best practices
