Create a wiki
Content
Introduction
As a regular individual, you can request a wiki on fanwikis.org. We will then create a wiki for you and give you the rights to manage it.
To do so, you need to contact us at me@crg.sh.
Two ways to proceed
When creating a wiki, there's two ways to proceed:
Creating a wiki from scratch
If you want to create a wiki from scratch, the wiki starts of privated and you need to create a front page as well as the required templates and a few rough drafts for pages. Once the wiki is ready, we will make it public and release it in the incubator state. This means that the wiki is publically visible, but not in an ideal state yet. You can then continue to work on the wiki and can request it to leave the incubator state once you think it's ready. It's recommended to have more than 1 beaurocrat/admin for the wiki, but not required.
Moving a wiki to fanwikis.org
If you already maintain a wiki somewhere else, such as on Fandom, you can request to move it to fanwikis.org. We will then create a wiki for you and import the content of your wiki. It'll then be private so you can make sure everything works and gets adjusted to e.g. a new theme. We can also assist you with this. Once everything is ready, the wiki will be made public and may even skip the incubator stage depending on the state of the wiki. Moving a wiki from another platform is only allowed when you are a beaurocrat/admin of said wiki.
Need special features or themes?
In general, we try to work closely with our wikis to make sure they have everything they need. If you need a special feature or theme, we can try to implement it for you. If you're a programmer, you can also contribute it yourself. Just let us know. We work closely with beaurocrats/admins as well as the community of wikis to make sure everyone is happy.
