Request a wiki

From wikicircles Meta
Revision as of 04:28, 27 August 2026 by Admin (talk | contribs) (fix-request-target)

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.

Start a request

You'll need to be signed in to file one — that's the only requirement, and it takes a minute. Topic, a proposed subdomain, and a sentence on why:

Enter the subdomain you'd want — lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, e.g. espresso for espresso.wikicircles.org:


Your request lands in the request queue, where an admin reviews it and — if it's a good fit — creates the wiki and makes you its first editor.

What happens next

New wikis are reviewed and created by hand, so there's a real person in the loop rather than instant self-service. Expect a reply on your request page or in the relevant community. Once it's live, you keep full editorial control of your wiki.
