Wikily

Wikily is a platform for creating and reading game wikis, with items, maps, stats and calculators available to readers free in multiple languages. It is designed for communities that want to publish maps, build planners and guides without code or servers. Wiki creators can arrange blocks and widgets in a visual editor with live preview, without markup. Interactive maps support pan and zoom, filterable markers and links from markers to wiki pages. Tables and datasets can provide entries to pages and maps, with changes to shared data reflected in those views. Owners can invite editors, assign roles, review revisions and customize themes, colours, fonts and logos. Wikis can offer supported reader languages, but adding a language does not translate content automatically. An MCP-enabled AI assistant can edit a wiki using a service token with a selected role; its edits follow the wiki's review and version-history processes. Reader pages display ads from Wikily's ad partner, while Premium readers see no ads. Wikily's privacy policy identifies NX Software SAS as the data controller and says personal data is not sold. The free plan covers wiki creation and reading on iOS, web and Windows.

Wikily pairs free-to-read game wikis with tools for community editing, interactive maps and shared datasets. Creators should note that language options do not provide automatic translation and that reader pages include ads outside Premium.

Wikily suits game communities that want to create interactive wikis, maps, calculators, build planners or guides without managing code or servers. It also serves readers looking for game information in supported languages.

Wikily is a platform for game communities building collaborative wikis with maps, guides and structured reference data. It suits groups that want to publish without managing code or servers. Its strongest case is the connection between shared datasets and interactive maps; readers should factor in ads and the need to translate content themselves.

Overview

Wikily combines wiki pages, maps, calculators and structured game information in a free-to-read format. The focus on game reference material makes it a more targeted option than a general writing workspace, particularly for communities whose readers need to move between guides, stats and locations.

Creators assemble pages with draggable blocks and widgets in a live preview rather than markup. Owners can invite editors, assign roles and review revisions, while revision history provides a record of changes. Those tools support shared upkeep, but a community still needs contributors to maintain accurate pages and manage edits.

Key features

Maps and shared datasets

Readers can pan and zoom maps, filter markers and follow marker links to wiki pages. Tables and datasets can supply both page entries and map markers, allowing updates to shared information to carry through to those views. This is a practical advantage for game worlds with location-based reference material; a mostly prose-based wiki may have less need for the map-and-data approach.

Editing, roles and customization

Role permissions let owners organize contributor access, and revision review provides a way to check changes. Owners can also set themes, colours, fonts and logos, giving a community control over its wiki's visual identity. Media uploads and API access are supported, alongside the editor and revision history.

Languages, AI and reader experience

Wikis can offer supported reader languages, but adding a language does not translate pages automatically. Communities seeking multilingual coverage must account for the work of producing the translated content. An AI assistant that speaks MCP can edit through a service token with a selected role; its changes remain subject to the wiki's review and version-history mechanisms.

Reader pages carry ads from Wikily's ad partner, while readers with Premium see no ads. Wikily's privacy policy names NX Software SAS as data controller and says it does not sell personal data. It says stored data is hosted using Hetzner, with locked certified data-center storage, encryption where possible and periodic security reviews. Support links include Discord, a contact channel and a service-status page.

Pricing

Wikily's Free plan costs nothing, and wiki creation is free forever. It is the straightforward choice for communities starting a wiki without a subscription charge, and free reading keeps the content accessible to readers. Reader pages still carry ads unless readers have Premium. Wikily offers Premium as the ad-free reader experience, but its price and terms are custom pricing.

Platforms

Wikily is available on iOS, web and Windows, giving creators and readers those platform options.

Who it's for

Wikily is best for game communities that want to build maps, calculators, build planners and guides together without code or server administration. Its shared datasets and linked map markers are especially useful when reference information is tied to places in a game. It is less suitable for teams expecting language selection to translate content or for readers who want an ad-free experience without Premium.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Shared datasets can feed both pages and map markers, helping keep related reference views aligned.
• Pro: Drag-and-drop editing, roles and revision review support collaborative wiki maintenance without markup.
• Pro: Wiki creation is free forever, making it possible to start a community reference site without a paid plan.
• Con: Adding a reader language does not translate content, so multilingual communities must provide translations.
• Con: Reader pages include ads outside Premium, which can detract from browsing.
