Create a wiki

Before you start

 * Plan your project and decide what it will be about.


 * Check to see if a community already exists on the topic you want to cover by searching for it by going to Fandom's home page. If your topic is already covered by an existing community, your new wiki may be closed by staff after review. Multiple wikis on the same topic do exist on Fandom, for example to allow fans to focus on fan-fiction, role-play or satire on separate communities - but as a rule, we encourage fans of the same topic to work together.


 * Click on the magnifying glass in the top navigation bar on fandom.com in order to see the search box. After writing the name of a community and hitting enter/clicking the arrow pointing to the right, you will be redirected to a search results page where you will see results from Fandom articles (on the left side) and community results on the right module. Click on the View More Wiki Communities to see all the results.

Create your community



 * 1) Click on the Start a Wiki button in the global navigation bar at the top of the page. This button brings you to the the creation form.
 * 2) Decide on a name for the community. — To help users find you in search engines and help your rankings, try not to use obscure names or -pedia. Instead, it's best to use common keywords or titles for your topic.
 * 3) Choose the URL or address for your site — Similar to the name, the URL or web address you choose for your site will affect how easy it is for people to find your site and understand what it is about. The URL automatically changes to a URL version of the name of the wiki you are creating when changing the wiki name. However, this can be changed.
 * 4) Duplicate wikis - if Fandom detects that you may be creating a wiki on a topic that already exists, you will see a warning. It will tell you which other wiki(s) cover your topic and encourage you to edit there instead. If you want to proceed and start your own wiki anyway, you will be asked to give a reason for why it should exist later.
 * 5) What's your wiki about? - Describe your community's topic briefly. This text will automatically display on your wikis main page. This can be skipped and changed at any time.
 * 6) Checkbox - Is this community directed to children under the age of 13? If so, please keep in mind Fandom's Terms of Use for users under that age.
 * 7) Choose a Hub - A category that best describes the subject of your community.
 * 8) Seven categories are available: Games, Movies, Comics, Books, TV, Music, and Lifestyle.
 * 9) Eight additional categories are also available to choose from: Anime, Books, Comics, Fanon, Movies, Music, TV, and Video Games.
 * 10) Hit Create a new wiki. If your wiki was previously flagged as a potential duplicate, you will now be asked to give a reason for why it should be created anyway. If not, you will move right to the next step.
 * 11) Choose your theme - A list of premade themes can be chosen from. This includes the colors of your wiki's background, links, buttons, headers, and page colors. You can skip this and choose or make a personalized one later in Help:Theme Designer.
 * 12) Come up with a name for your wiki or community
 * 13) Upload a graphic wordmark: take a look at Help:Theme Designer#Wordmark.
 * 14) Create a favicon: check out Help:Favicon.
 * 15) Congratulations! You've now created a community!
