Hello! If you just became a wiki creator or want to become one it would be very useful if you would read this page.

Creating wikis[edit source]

Before continuing, make sure you want to approve the request.

  1. Access the request at Special:RequestWikiQueue.
  2. Under the "Toolbox" section click CreateWiki.
  3. Verify that ALL the details are correct. (BEWARE: the wiki domain field cannot contain -, the hyphen-minus character.)
  4. Click submit.
  5. Make sure wiki is created, main page is displayed, and a bureaucrat exists on the wiki.
  6. Go back to the request page, write Approved or Done and click submit. (You have to refresh the page to see the change.)

You're done!

For inappropriate wiki names/content please deny if you are not sure, or leave it to someone else.

Use {{Requestdenyexists}} for wikis that already exist, {{Requestdenymalformed}} for malformed domains, {{Requestdenyinvalid}} for invalid requests (which generally need additional descriptions), and {{Requestdenytesting}} for test wiki requests.

Custom domains[edit source]

For custom domains, please create a Miraheze subdomain first.

Example: example.info would be example.miraheze.org.

Notifications[edit source]

Notifications on wiki creation are handled by the software currently. However, please always notify the wiki requester if you decline their request.

ManageWiki[edit source]

What to do is pretty straightforward. Please include what you changed in the Comments section!
