Hello
Setting up a Wikigit takes about ten minutes and a few clicks. You’ll need a free GitHub account (where your pages will live) and a free Cloudflare account (which runs the part that saves edits). No coding required — the setup pages fill in the technical bits for you.
Your wiki has two pieces, and each one sets up with a button:
- The website — what visitors read.
- The editor service — the small helper that saves people’s changes.
Step 1 — Make your own copy edit
Start from the Wikigit project on GitHub and choose Use this template (or Fork). This creates a copy in your own account — pages and all. This copy is your wiki; everything you publish is saved here.
Step 2 — Turn on the website edit
Your copy comes with everything needed to publish itself. In your copy’s Settings → Pages, turn Pages on. Within a minute or two your wiki is live at an address like your-name.github.io/your-wiki. Visit it — you’ll see a working wiki with starter pages.
At this point people can read your wiki. Next you’ll switch on editing.
Step 3 — Set up the editor service edit
Open the project’s setup page (linked from your wiki’s footer and its README) and follow it. It will:
- connect to your GitHub copy,
- set up the editor service on your Cloudflare account, and
- fill in all the technical settings for you.
You mostly click Continue and approve a couple of permissions. When it finishes, it gives you the editor service’s address.
Step 4 — Connect the two edit
Tell your website where the editor lives by saving that address as a setting in your GitHub copy (the setup page tells you exactly where). That’s the last link in the chain — your website now knows where to send edits.
Step 5 — You’re live edit
Open your wiki and click Edit on any page. Make a small change, save it, and watch it appear. That’s a complete, working wiki that anyone can read and edit.
What’s next edit
- Make it yours — set the name, logo, colors, home page, and a custom web address.
- Editing pages — how you and others write content.
- Managing changes — decide who can edit and how edits are reviewed.
