Is it really free? For normal use, yes. A wiki hosted on wikigit.org runs at no cost, comfortably covering an ordinary site. Only a very large or very busy wiki might eventually want a paid arrangement.
Do I need to know how to code? No. Creating a wiki is a few clicks, writing pages is like writing a document, and customising is a matter of changing values in a settings form. There’s no programming unless you choose to host the Engine yourself.
How do people sign in to edit? With GitHub or an email-based Wikigit account, so their edits are credited to them. You can also allow anonymous editing the way Wikipedia does, or require everyone to sign in. It’s your call — see Signing in.
What if someone vandalises a page? Nothing is lost: every version is kept. You can undo a bad edit or restore an older one in a click, block the person, and even have obvious vandalism undone automatically. See Trust and moderation.
Why do edits appear instantly? Your pages are just files, and the site reads them live from a CDN. When a change is saved, the next person to open the page sees it — there’s no rebuild and no waiting. The architecture explains why.
Is my content locked in? No. It lives as plain Markdown files — in your own GitHub account if you chose that, or movable to it at any time if wikigit.org is hosting it for you. You can download it or keep a copy elsewhere whenever you like.
Can I use my own web address? Yes. A wiki starts at your-name.wikigit.org, and you can connect your own domain whenever you like. See Customize.
your-name.wikigit.org
Can my wiki have more than one language? Yes. Pages can have versions in several languages, linked with a switcher for readers. See Multilingual wikis.
What happens during an outage? Reading keeps working as long as the reader’s host is up. If the Engine is briefly unavailable, people can still read, and editing resumes when it returns. Since your content is plain files, it’s never at risk.
How many editors can it handle? Plenty for a normal community. A single person is rate-limited so they can’t flood the wiki, but many people editing at once is no problem.
Can I move an existing wiki into Wikigit? If your content is in Markdown, or can be converted to it, you can bring it in as pages — each page is just a Markdown file in your wiki’s folder.
