Indie Wikis review
A managed, free wiki option for established indie game communities.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Indie Wikis provides free, managed wiki hosting for indie game developers and game communities. It handles wiki setup and hosting through the web, with templates, spam protection, and content moderation support included in the offering. The service is aimed at communities with an established audience and a sufficiently complex game or mod, rather than every new project seeking a basic documentation page. Prospective customers contact Indie Wikis to apply.
The pricing model is straightforward: the official site states that there are no fees for the hosting service. The offering also includes advertising-revenue sharing, with wiki owners receiving 60% of generated advertising revenue, subject to negotiation. Payments are made monthly. This creates a potential revenue stream for eligible communities, while the application requirement means access depends on the community and game or mod meeting the stated eligibility criteria.
Indie Wikis focuses on managed community hosting rather than exposing a broad set of wiki capabilities. Its published positioning includes support for setup, templates, spam protection, and moderation, but editing depth, revisions, uploads, and integrations are limited. That makes it a suitable choice for an established indie game community that wants a hosted wiki without fees or extensive administration. Communities needing deeper editing controls, richer revision workflows, upload support, or broader integrations should choose a more capable wiki platform instead.
