@WIKI

@WIKI is a free wiki hosting service for creating websites, including game strategy wikis. Its shared pages can be edited by multiple people, making it a place to assemble reference material collaboratively. Authors can use atwiki, word processor, pukiwiki-like, or Markdown editing modes; each has different syntax and page limits. A visual editor supports formatting and inserting tables and links without requiring wiki syntax. Page viewing and editing permissions are configured separately, with options for all users, members and administrators, or administrators only. The service saves page source with each save and normally retains the previous 100 versions for review, comparison, or restoration. Plugins can add images, videos, visitor counts, popular pages, comments, and RSS display, but are limited to atwiki and pukiwiki-like modes. External settings list Bing Webmaster Tools, Facebook comments, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and Twitter. Its API can retrieve, create, update, and search pages. The service is free through advertising, and hiding ads with CSS is prohibited. @WIKI was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

@WIKI combines collaborative pages, revision history, permission controls, and several editing options for hosted wikis. Consider the ad requirement and mode-specific plugin limits when choosing how to build a site.

@WIKI suits people creating shared websites or game strategy wikis who want multiple editing modes and page-level permissions. Its advertising-supported free service may suit projects that can accommodate displayed ads.

@WIKI is a hosted service for building collaborative wikis, including game strategy sites. It suits groups that want several editing styles, page-level permissions, and revision recovery without a subscription. Its free access is appealing, but the required advertising and mode-specific plugin support shape the trade-off.

Overview

Multiple people can edit wiki pages, while separate viewing and editing permissions let administrators decide whether a page is open to everyone, limited to members and administrators, or restricted to administrators. That makes @WIKI more than a public reference site: it can also accommodate pages that a group wants to keep private or limit to trusted editors.

Each save retains page source, and the default history keeps the previous 100 versions for review, comparison, and restoration. This is a practical safeguard for collaborative editing, where changes can be checked or rolled back rather than treated as permanent.

Key features

Editing choices and plugins

Pages can use atwiki, word processor, pukiwiki-like, or Markdown editing modes. The choice brings different syntax and page limits, so a group should settle on a mode with its intended authors and content in mind. The visual editor handles formatting, tables, and links without requiring wiki syntax, which lowers the barrier for occasional contributors.

Plugins can add images, videos, visitor counts, popular-page displays, comments, and RSS display, but only in atwiki and pukiwiki-like modes. Groups that rely on these additions should choose one of those modes; Markdown and word processor users do not get the same plugin option.

Connections and API

External integration settings include Bing Webmaster Tools, Facebook comments, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and Twitter. The external API supports retrieving, creating, updating, and searching pages. Together these options help site managers connect a wiki with analytics and other services or work with page content programmatically; deletion is described as planned rather than supported.

The privacy policy says personal information is used for service operation, advertising, analytics, and responding to inquiries, in compliance with applicable privacy laws and regulations. Users seeking help can contact support through the inquiry form if the usage guide does not answer their question.

Pricing

@WIKI offers one plan: 基本利用 costs free and is basically free, with advertising displayed. That makes it a straightforward option for groups that can accept ads; the service prohibits hiding them with CSS, so it is not a fit for teams that require an ad-free presentation.

No paid plan or seat-based price is given. Editing modes have different page limits, so the selected mode matters for how much content a site can hold. The free plan is best approached as hosted wiki access with advertising, not as a promise of unlimited pages or an ad-free workspace.

Platforms

@WIKI supports Android, iOS, and web. That range suits contributors who need access from mobile devices as well as a browser, while the service remains focused on hosted wiki creation.

Who it's for

Game communities and other groups building shared reference pages are the clearest fit, particularly when they value revision recovery and want to set permissions page by page. It is also suitable for contributors with different levels of wiki experience: the visual editor avoids syntax for common formatting, while Markdown and wiki-style modes remain options.

It is less suitable for groups that cannot tolerate advertising or need plugins regardless of editing mode. Teams should also check the selected mode's page limits before committing a large wiki to it.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free plan includes hosted wiki creation, with no subscription price to weigh against a project’s budget.
• Pros: Separate viewing and editing permissions, plus a default history of 100 previous versions, support controlled collaboration and recovery.
• Pros: Four editing modes and a visual editor give contributors a choice between familiar formatting and wiki syntax.
• Cons: Advertising is part of the free service, and hiding it with CSS is prohibited.
• Cons: Plugins work only in atwiki and pukiwiki-like modes, narrowing the choice for groups that want both plugins and another editing style.
• Cons: Different modes have different page limits, requiring a choice that accounts for the wiki’s size and editing needs.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, browse Wiki Software. Choose Confluence instead if a freemium service with a free forever plan for up to 10 users, 2 GB of file storage, and three active whiteboards per user better fits a small team.

TiddlyWiki is a free, open-source project supported by donations, and is worth considering alongside hosted wiki services. Pick Fandom if its free wiki hosting with no limit to wiki size is the more important fit. PBworks is another freemium option with custom pricing.

VoodooPad is a paid Mac app at $24.99, paid once, so it may suit someone looking for a one-time-priced macOS option rather than free hosted wiki service. Outline is a paid alternative with plans for teams of 1–10 and 11–100 members. BlueSpice offers a free distribution with business features and is self-hosted, a different deployment choice from @WIKI’s hosted service. Wikidot is another freemium web wiki service.

Verdict

@WIKI is a sound choice for game communities and other groups that want a free, hosted collaborative wiki with page-level controls and useful revision history. Its editing range and visual editor make it workable for contributors with different levels of wiki fluency. Look elsewhere if ads are unacceptable, if plugins must work across editing modes, or if the page limits of the chosen mode do not suit the project.
