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.
