Kanka vs wiki.gg

Kanka is a web-based worldbuilding service and RPG campaign manager for organizing ideas, creations, and campaign settings. It is intended for game masters, worldbuilders, players, writers, and content creators, and can be used with any tabletop RPG system or without one. Campaigns can organize material across about 20 categories, including characters, locations, items, quests, journals, calendars, events, and abilities; owners can disable categories they do not need. Members can receive roles that control what they can see and do, and owners can preview a campaign from a member’s perspective. Worldbuilding tools include linked relations, timelines, custom calendars, layered interactive maps, and a rich-text editor with @mentions. The REST API is available to all accounts and can support scripts, backups, bots, dashboards, VTT integrations, and data synchronization. Kanka has a free plan and annual paid plans from $4.16/mo. It can also be self-hosted, though premium features are unavailable there and the team does not provide self-hosting support. There is no dedicated mobile app, but the interface adapts to smaller screens.

wiki.gg is a free web hosting service for collaboratively edited encyclopedic resources. It accepts gaming, entertainment, open-source, hobby, and other general-interest subjects, and says more than 800 wikis use the platform. New wikis run on MediaWiki with VisualEditor installed by default, while LinkSuggest and other editor-quality extensions are available. Administrators may request additional extensions, although some requests are unavailable when software is unmaintained, incompatible, or raises code-quality or stability concerns. LIBRARIAN, wiki.gg’s fork of Cargo, stores and queries template data when approved. Wiki-Bot connects pages with Discord, displays recent changes, and helps track edits. A public Discord server provides editor connections, support, and platform guidance. Applications are reviewed case by case, with replies typically taking about 5–7 business days. Hosting is free and funded by advertisements. Wikis use wiki.gg subdomains; custom domains are unavailable, although URL redirects are allowed. Most wikis require editor accounts to help track, revert, and block malicious edits.
