How to Ask Questions and Contribute on thewiki.moe

Updated

To get help on thewiki.moe, start with the site's extensive FAQ; if your question isn't covered there, use the linked Discord server to hang out, report issues, and request wiki-related changes. To contribute, follow the site's "how you can contribute" guidance and use the "Edit this page" link available on pages. These options are described on the site's home page; the exact submission rules and review process are not detailed there, so check the linked pages before editing.

Asking questions

The home page lists two routes for getting answers:

  • FAQ first. The site points readers to an "extensive FAQ" for common questions. This is the intended first stop before asking elsewhere.
  • Discord server. The home page says the wiki has a Discord server "where you can hang out, report, and request things related to this wiki." That makes it the place for three distinct actions: general chat, reporting problems, and requesting additions or changes.

The home page does not publish response times, channel names, or a formal support process, so treat the Discord as the community channel it is described as rather than a guaranteed support desk.

Contributing to the wiki

The home page includes a section asking "Want to contribute and help improve this wiki?" and links to "See how you can contribute." Two practical entry points are visible:

Action Where it appears What it's for
Read the contribution guidance "See how you can contribute" link Understanding how to help improve the wiki
Edit a specific page "Edit this page" link on pages Making a direct change to that page

The home page itself carries an "Edit this page" control, which suggests edits are made at the page level rather than through a separate submission form. The site does not state on this page whether edits are moderated, what style rules apply, or what account or permissions are needed, so confirm those details on the contribution page before making changes.

What the wiki covers, and why that shapes your request

Knowing the site's scope helps you ask a question in the right place. The home page describes it as "the wiki for all things related to anime and more," with content "ranging from easy to digest tutorials to full blown guides." Its listed topic areas are:

  • Getting started: finding favorite anime, manga, and light novels.
  • In-depth topics: choosing a media player for your device, sourcing content in the highest quality, and learning to torrent from scratch.
  • Watching anime: streaming quickly, downloading in the best quality, and direct downloading.
  • Tutorials: installing and configuring mpv, automatically downloading weekly shows via RSS, and comparing multiple releases.
  • Creating releases: learning how to make your own release for others.
  • FAQ: the site's question-and-answer section.

A request or report is easiest to act on when it names the relevant page or topic — for example, a correction to the mpv setup tutorial or a suggestion for the release-comparison guide — rather than a general question about anime.

A practical sequence

  1. Check the FAQ for your question.
  2. If it isn't answered, open the Discord server to ask, report, or request.
  3. If you want to fix or improve content, read the contribution guidance, then use "Edit this page" on the page concerned.

The home page does not mention pricing, accounts, or login requirements for these features, so don't assume either way; verify on the linked pages.
