WP Wiki

What Is WP Wiki?

WP Wiki is a community‑driven encyclopedia focused entirely on WordPress, designed as an open, collaborative platform where anyone—from newcomers to seasoned professionals—can contribute meaningful insights about the ecosystem.

Core Purpose & Features

• It empowers contributors to create and edit articles covering all things related to WordPress: themes, plugins, security, performance, development techniques, content strategy, and more.
• It also hosts vanity listings, which are personal or business profile pages highlighting one’s contributions, projects, services, or story within the WordPress community.
• A key emphasis is placed on inclusivity and open‑source spirit, welcoming everyone to participate—from first‑time users to expert developers.
• The platform actively evolves with contributions—recently added pages include topics like “Wapuu,” “Categories vs. Tags,” “Posts vs. Pages,” “WordCamp,” and “WP Wonder Women,” all created or updated in early in its inception.

Contributing and Community Benefits

• To contribute, one simply registers for a free WP Wiki account, which grants authorship credit for submitted articles, editing capabilities (own and others’, unless locked), and the satisfaction of contributing to a community resource.
• The platform’s design encourages ethical, respectful collaboration—“post, edit, ethically” is its guiding motto.

Why It Matters

WP Wiki fills an important niche in the WordPress ecosystem:

• It provides a centralized, community-authored knowledge base, truly by the WordPress community, for the WordPress community.
• It gives visibility to contributors and their projects through community pages (the vanity listings), fostering connection and recognition.
• It keeps documentation up to date and accessible, making it a living, evolving archive rather than a static resource.
