What is EverybodyWiki?
EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki is an openly editable, inclusionist encyclopedia. Its stated purpose is to host articles that might not meet Wikipedia's notability standards or that have been marked for deletion there, so people can create pages about themselves, a company, a video game, a film, or other subjects without the same notability requirements. It runs on wiki software with features such as VisualEditor and mobile-friendly viewing, and it operates in several languages, including English, French, Portuguese, German and Japanese.
Who it is for
- Individuals who want a biography or personal page that would not survive a Wikipedia deletion discussion.
- Small companies, creators and projects seeking a basic encyclopedia-style page.
- Editors who want to preserve or continue working on articles removed from Wikipedia.
- Readers looking for niche or self-published topics that mainstream encyclopedias exclude.
What to keep in mind
- Because almost anyone can create a page and notability is not required, content is not a reliable indicator of importance or accuracy. Treat it as a self-published source, not as an authoritative reference.
- Pages can be edited by others, so a biography or company page is not fully under your control once published.
- The site says you can edit after creating an account and confirming your email.
A practical next step: if you want to create a page, register, confirm your email, and start with the "Create a new article," "Create a biography," or "Create a company page" link. If you are using it for research, cross-check facts against independent sources before citing it. For comparison, Wikipedia itself is at Wikipedia.
How do I create a new article or biography on EverybodyWiki?
You can create a page on EverybodyWiki by registering an account, confirming your email, and then using the "Create a new article" or "Create a biography" links on the main page. The site describes itself as an inclusionist encyclopedia: it says articles do not need to meet notability standards, so you can write about yourself, a company, a game, a film, or almost anything else.
The practical steps are:
- Create an account and log in.
- Confirm your email address. The page notes that email confirmation is now required before you can edit.
- Open "Create a new article" (or "Create a biography" / "Create a company page" for those formats).
- Write and save the page.
Use the VisualEditor if you prefer a word-processor-like interface; the site says it offers this and is optimized for mobile viewing.
What to expect
EverybodyWiki is a wiki, not a publishing service. Anyone can edit, so your page can be changed by others, and it will not carry the same weight as an established encyclopedia entry. Because there is no notability bar, it works well as a first draft, a personal profile you control the starting point of, or a rescue copy of an article deleted elsewhere. It is a poor choice if you need a page that looks authoritative to clients, journalists, or search engines that discount user-generated wikis.
For a biography, write in a neutral, factual tone and cite sources where you can — even without a notability requirement, unsourced self-promotion reads poorly and invites cleanup. For a company page, state what the company does, where it operates, and its history, and avoid marketing language.
If your goal is a page on the main Wikipedia instead, note that its notability rules do apply; EverybodyWiki is a separate project and cannot guarantee an article will ever be accepted there. For deleted-article drafts, you can also compare with Deletionpedia, and for wiki editing basics see MediaWiki.
What are the rules and notability requirements for articles on EverybodyWiki?
EverybodyWiki is an inclusionist wiki: it deliberately does not apply Wikipedia-style notability standards. According to its own main page, an article there "does not need any requirements like to meet any standards of notability, arbitrary requirements, or be famous to be preserved." Its stated purpose is to host articles marked for deletion on Wikipedia, plus new self-written articles such as biographies and company pages.
What that means in practice
- Notability: No threshold to clear. A person, company, game, film or other subject can have a page without independent coverage or significance tests.
- Rules: The site still has a rules page and moderation; inclusionism removes the notability bar, not all editorial expectations. Check the linked Rules page before creating anything, since the main page only summarises it.
- Editing access: You can edit almost every page after creating an account and confirming your email — the site states email confirmation is now required to edit.
- Scope: Anyone can write about "anything," and the site explicitly invites biographies and company pages.
Practical comparison
| EverybodyWiki | Wikipedia | |
|---|---|---|
| Notability requirement | None stated | Required |
| Deleted-article rescue | Core purpose | Not applicable |
| Self-written biography/company page | Explicitly invited | Strongly discouraged |
| Audience and reach | Smaller, inclusionist community | Very large general audience |
| Best used for | Preserving or publishing content that fails elsewhere | Established, verifiable topics |
Decision criterion
Use EverybodyWiki if your goal is to publish or preserve a page that would be rejected for lack of notability, and you accept a smaller audience and less editorial scrutiny. If your goal is credibility with a broad readership, a page here carries far less weight than coverage in established reference works or press.
Next step
Read the site's Rules and FAQ pages, then create an account and confirm your email before drafting, since editing is gated behind confirmation. Start at EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki.
How does EverybodyWiki compare to Wikipedia for deleted or non-notable articles?
EverybodyWiki is built as an inclusionist alternative to Wikipedia: its stated purpose is to host and preserve articles that are marked for deletion on Wikipedia, and it explicitly says articles there do not need to meet notability standards or be famous. So for a deleted or non-notable topic, EverybodyWiki is the more permissive home; Wikipedia is the more restrictive one.
H3 Comparison at a glance
| Dimension | Wikipedia | EverybodyWiki |
|---|---|---|
| Inclusion standard | Notability and sourcing requirements | No notability requirement stated |
| Deleted articles | Removed after deletion discussion | Kept or re-created to preserve them |
| Editing | Account needed; email confirmation now required to edit | Account needed; email confirmation now required to edit |
| Familiar tools | VisualEditor, mobile viewing | VisualEditor, mobile viewing per its page |
| Scale | Far larger article base | 639,981 articles and 1,055 active contributors cited on its main page |
| Languages | Many, including the ones listed | English, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, with more languages noted |
H3 What this means in practice
If you are a biographer, a small company, or a creator whose page was deleted from Wikipedia, EverybodyWiki is the obvious place to publish it: it accepts the same kind of article without the notability bar. The trade-off is reach and trust. A Wikipedia article carries weight because it survived scrutiny; an EverybodyWiki article has no such filter, so readers, journalists and clients may treat it as self-published or promotional rather than verified.
H3 A concrete decision path
- Want a page that can be cited or treated as neutral fact? Aim for Wikipedia and fix sourcing.
- Want to preserve a deleted draft, document a niche subject, or publish a biography or company page without a notability test? Use EverybodyWiki, and treat it as a hosting and archive platform rather than a credibility signal.
- Want both? Keep the EverybodyWiki copy as a record, and continue improving sourcing for a future Wikipedia submission.
Next step: create an account and confirm your email, since editing now requires confirmation, then use the "Create an article," "Create a biography," or "Create a company page" links on the main page. For comparison, Wikipedia's own inclusion rules are explained at Wikipedia.
Can I write about my own company or myself on EverybodyWiki?
Yes. EverybodyWiki explicitly invites both: its front page offers “Create a biography” and “Create a company page,” and it describes itself as an inclusionist encyclopedia where “anyone can write about anything.” Unlike Wikipedia, it states that articles do not need to meet notability standards or be famous to be kept. That makes it a realistic home for a self-written profile or a small-business page that would be deleted elsewhere.
What that means in practice
- You can register, confirm your email, and publish directly; the site notes that email confirmation is now required to edit.
- Your page sits alongside a very large existing article base, so it will not stand out on its own.
- Because there is no notability gate, the credibility comes from what you write, not from the platform's review. Readers who know the site will treat it accordingly.
Be clear about the trade-off
A page here is easy to create but weak as a trust signal. If you want a profile that other people will cite, you still need independent coverage — a news mention, a trade publication, or a directory listing on a site with editorial standards. Think of EverybodyWiki as a place to preserve or draft your story, not as proof that it is notable.
A practical next step
Write the page as if a skeptical stranger were reading it: state what your company does, where it operates, and one verifiable fact (a registration number, a launch date, a named client). Then link to it from your own website's press or about page.
If outside verification matters to you, aim for coverage on established platforms as well — for example, a company profile on Crunchbase or a presence on LinkedIn — and treat EverybodyWiki as a supplement rather than the centerpiece.
What languages is EverybodyWiki available in?
EverybodyWiki is available in English plus French, Portuguese, German and Japanese, with the site noting that more languages are planned.
The English version is the main entry point at EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki, and the page links to the other language editions from its navigation. If you want to write in a language other than English, start from the language links on that page rather than creating a duplicate article in the English wiki.
A practical note: because anyone can write about anything and there are no notability requirements, the same subject can appear in more than one language edition with different content and quality. If you are checking whether a page exists, search each relevant language version separately.
