Wiki.js
js.wiki

Today I was looking at some ways to get wikis for games that are very in depth offline for personal use. Wiki.js was one of the more prominent results so I looked into it. I’m no HTML pro, but I do know a few things, enough to make it look decent enough for my own curiosity and usage. I just wanted to share with others who might be interested in something similar!

I absolutely love the layout and how easy it is to move stuff over. Once I made the default theme dark, it was game on. I have spent the last 3 hours moving bits and pieces from the wikis I was interested in over to it. Give it a try!

I’m hosting it through the Apps feature in TrueNAS Scale. Not exposed to the internet. On TrueNAS, I set it up ACL (permissions) with a preset one that I made for quickly giving myself access to anything for my file browser.

THANK YOU to all the devs and anyone who has supported this project. Excellent piece of software!

EDIT
Here is a screenshot of what I’ve dragged over and reformatted from the Stardew Valley Wiki into Wiki.js.

    I replied to Scrubbles, not to you, OP. If you saw it, I actually edited in “sorry for the brutal honesty, OP” at the end for just a minute because after I’d already submitted that comment, I misread something you said that made me think this was your work-in-progress hobby project (which is really sad that I could’ve thought that to begin with). I did try it here as linked below, and it’s hilariously horrendous. It’s like somebody made a bootleg Docusaurus where the contents of the page are editable and you can do a poor man’s git diff between edits and said “done, we’re wiki software now”. There are so many things wrong with this in the way of being serious, productive wiki software that I don’t even know where to begin. It’s somehow only barely less terrible than Fandom, and Fandom has 20% of the screen dedicated to actual articles and is a cancer eating away at fan wikis (plugging Indie Wiki Buddy).

    Edit: Is there not even a spot at the bottom of the page for the license the contents of the article are released under? Oh my god. Copyleft is the most singularly important aspect of a healthy, thriving wiki, and instead of telling me a license like CC BY-SA 4.0, it’s saying “Powered by Wiki.js”. I can’t. This is not a serious piece of software created by someone who’s touched a wiki in their life.
