A wikicircles wiki starts with one person who knows a hobby well enough to seed it and cares enough to tend it early on. If that's you, propose it here.
What makes a good wiki topic
- A real hobby with practitioners — something people buy gear for, argue about, and get better at over time.
- Not already covered — check the directory first; if a close wiki already exists, contribute there instead.
- Broader than a single product — "espresso" works; "the Gaggia Classic" is a page, not a wiki.
How to request
- Sign in and join Meta so you can edit this page.
- Add your request to the list below — copy the format of an existing entry.
- A steward will follow up about setting it up and making you its first editor/admin.
Requested wikis
Add yours below. Keep it to a line or two — the topic, why it deserves a wiki, and your signature (type ~~~).
- Mountain biking — trails, suspension setup, and gear that survives the descent.
- (add your request here)
What happens next
New wikis are set up by hand for now, so there's a real person in the loop rather than instant self-service. Expect a reply on your talk page or in the relevant community. Once it's live, you keep full editorial control of your wiki.
