Start a wiki

Updated 2026-08-13

A wiki is the container for everything else: its pages, its data, its look, its people. Making one takes a minute.

Create it

  1. Open Create a wiki, the button on the platform home once you are signed in.
  2. Give it a name: the game or subject it is about.
  3. Check the address.
  4. Create it. You land on an empty wiki with the full block palette.
Two fields. The name is what readers see; the address is the part of every URL that identifies your wiki, and unlike a page address it is not one to change later.

The address is worth a moment. Unlike a page address, it is not something to churn later.

You are its owner. Everything below lives under Manage, the button on your own wiki once you are signed in.

Name it and dress it

Settings contains identity, languages and configuration. Manage › Theme controls the wiki's colours, fonts, backgrounds and sidebar design.
GeneralName, tagline, description. The last two are what a link preview shows and what search engines quote.
BrandingLogo, banner, tab icon and a default share image, the one that appears when somebody posts a link in a chat.
Manage › ThemeColours, fonts, page and card backgrounds, and the sidebar (Manage › Theme › Sidebar). Blocks take their defaults from these.

Choose your theme before building many pages. Blocks with their own colours and fonts override those defaults, so those individual settings can need clearing after a theme change.

For sidebar colours, fonts and background artwork, see Sidebar, colours and backgrounds. For shared custom rules, see Custom CSS.

Languages

Default languageWhat your wiki is written in.What a reader gets when nothing better is available.
SupportedThe list readers can switch to.Adding one opens the door; it translates nothing.

Everything about walking through that door is in Translations.

Being found

Settings › SEO holds a default page title and description, the share image, and a search-visibility switch.

That switch is the one to be deliberate about. Off while the wiki is a building site, on when it is ready to be found. Everything else is a sensible default.
