How can I create a wiki on wiki.gg?

You can create a wiki on wiki.gg by submitting an application through their "Create a Wiki" page — but as of the site's current status, new wiki requests are closed. The page states that new requests are temporarily closed and directs interested creators to join the wiki.gg Discord server to be notified when they reopen. So the practical path right now is: join the Discord, wait for the reopening announcement, then apply.

What wiki.gg accepts

wiki.gg hosts MediaWiki sites and says it accepts wikis about "a range of common interest topics." The site groups these into three broad categories:

The platform describes itself as having over 800 wikis and an "indie, editors-first mindset," and says it has been making fan and official wikis for over a decade.

Steps to create a wiki

1. Join the wiki.gg Discord server. The site explicitly says to join Discord to stay up to date on platform news and to be notified when new wiki requests reopen.
2. Wait for requests to reopen. The "Create a Wiki" page currently states that new wiki requests are closed. There is no published date for reopening in the available information.
3. Submit an application. Once requests reopen, the process is an application: the site says "Send us an application now to create a wiki on our catered platform." You'll need to describe your wiki's topic, since acceptance is limited to common-interest topics.
4. Wait for review. The site frames this as an application rather than instant self-service creation, so expect a review step before your wiki is set up.

What to prepare before applying

• A clear topic description. Since wiki.gg accepts wikis across gaming, entertainment, and general-interest subjects, be ready to state which category yours falls into and why it fits.
• A sense of your community or editorial plan. The platform emphasizes an "editors-first" commitment — it says editors come first and that if a community decides to leave, wiki.gg will not compete with it. An application that reflects a real editorial effort fits that framing better than a bare topic name.
• Patience with timing. Because requests are closed, there's no way to complete creation right now. Joining Discord is the only stated way to learn when that changes.

Common sticking points

• Assuming you can just sign up and start. Creation is application-based, not open registration, and it's currently paused entirely.
• Missing the reopening window. The site points to Discord as the notification channel, so not joining means you may not hear when applications resume.
• Vague topic proposals. The platform states it accepts common-interest topics across gaming, entertainment, and "everything else," so an application should make the topic and its audience obvious.
