What languages and community channels does EverybodyWiki offer?

Updated

EverybodyWiki offers its wiki in English plus at least four other language editions (French, Portuguese, German, and Japanese, with a "More languages" link pointing to additional ones), and it maintains community channels on Facebook, Twitter, Discord, and Reddit. You can also reach the project through its FAQ/Contact page, Rules page, and on-wiki navigation links like Random page and Recent Changes. All of these are listed on the site's main page and its "List of EverybodyWikis" page.

Language editions

The site presents its other-language versions as a simple list of flags and language names. Based on the main page and the List of EverybodyWikis page, the confirmed editions are:

Flag Language Code shown
🇬🇧 English EN
🇫🇷 Français FR
🇵🇹 Português PT
🇩🇪 Deutsch DE
🇯🇵 日本語 JA

A "More languages" link appears after the five listed editions, indicating that additional language versions exist beyond those shown. The page does not enumerate them, so treat the table above as the confirmed set rather than a complete list.

If you want to write or read in a language other than English, pick the matching flag link. Note that the English wiki is by far the largest in the numbers the site reports (see below), so content depth in the other editions may differ.

Community channels

EverybodyWiki links out to four external community platforms, each with its own icon and label on the main page:

  • Facebook — "Like us on Facebook"
  • Twitter — "Follow us on Twitter"
  • Discord — "Join us on Discord"
  • Reddit — "Post with us on Reddit"

These are the site's stated social and discussion channels. The page does not describe activity levels, moderation rules, or response times for any of them, so if you need a fast answer, the on-wiki FAQ/Contact page is the more direct route.

On-site help and navigation

Beyond external channels, the wiki itself provides several pages for orientation and support:

  • FAQ / Contact — questions and a way to reach the project
  • Rules — the site's editing rules
  • Tutorials — guidance for new contributors
  • Recent Changes — a live feed of edits
  • Random page — jump to an arbitrary article
  • Create a new article, Create a biography, Create a company page — starting points for contributing

The site also states you can edit almost every page by creating an account and confirming your email. A news note dated 2025-06-16 says email confirmation is now required to edit pages, with the confirmation request sent from Special:Preferences.

Scale and who runs it

For context on how active these channels and editions are, the main page reports:

  • 639,981 articles in the wiki
  • 1,055 active contributors

EverybodyWiki describes itself as an "inclusionist online encyclopedia" that tries to save articles marked for deletion on Wikipedia, and states that an article there does not need to meet notability standards or other requirements to be kept. It also says it shares features with Wikipedia, such as VisualEditor, and is optimized for mobile viewing.

Practical takeaways

  • To read or contribute in another language, use the flag links for FR, PT, DE, or JA, or follow "More languages" for the rest.
  • For community discussion, the site points to Facebook, Twitter, Discord, and Reddit.
  • For rules, help, and contact, use the on-wiki Rules, FAQ/Contact, and Tutorials pages.
  • Before editing, create an account and confirm your email — the site states this is now required.
