wiki.gg review
A focused free host for collaborative MediaWiki game wikis.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
wiki.gg is a hosted MediaWiki platform for creating collaboratively edited knowledge bases. It is aimed primarily at game communities, fan projects, developers, and editors building public reference resources, while also supporting entertainment franchises, hobbies, and other topics. Core capabilities include page editing, revision history, revision comparison, user accounts, role-based permissions, file uploads, and hosted wiki administration. Wikis are available through wiki.gg subdomains and are reviewed case by case.
The pricing model is straightforward: hosting is free, and the free offering includes the core tools needed to operate a collaborative wiki. These include MediaWiki hosting, collaborative editing, revision tracking, permissions, image, video, and other file uploads, and access to the MediaWiki API. File upload limits are expressed per file rather than as a total storage allowance. New wiki applications are currently closed, which affects teams planning to start a new hosted wiki immediately.
For teams that want a MediaWiki-based knowledge base without managing hosting, wiki.gg brings together editing, administration, automation, and presentation controls in one service. VisualEditor is available on supported wikis, while theming and CSS customization provide control over the wiki’s presentation. Comments are also available on supported wikis. The platform is a strong fit for public game documentation and community-maintained reference projects. Teams requiring a customer-supplied custom domain, or an immediately available new wiki application, should choose another option.
