Indie Wikis
What it is
Indie Wikis provides free, managed wiki hosting for indie game and mod projects. It handles hosting, spam protection, templates and content moderation, so qualifying wiki owners do not pay hosting fees. Eligibility depends on having an established community with a vested interest and enough complexity to justify a wiki, and Indie Wikis decides whether a project qualifies. Wiki owners receive 60% of advertising revenue, with the share negotiable, and payments are made monthly. The service runs on the web and has a free plan without a free trial. Prospective owners are asked to contact Indie Wikis about eligibility. Users may browse anonymously, while the privacy policy says names and email addresses may be collected when voluntarily provided. Cookies may be used, including by advertising partners for targeted advertising. The policy says personal information is not sold, traded or rented.
