Requesting a new wiki site

Important

Do you really need a wiki?

Back in the rosy days of the early Internet, wikis made perfect sense. Today, unless you’re willing to constantly monitor your wiki for spam and abuse, you shouldn’t really be asking to set up a wiki. What you probably want instead is a documentation site. Please review RTD (Read The Docs), and strongly consider if it’s a better fit than having a wiki.

If you do have a convincing reason to have wiki site, we may be able to host one for you. Please send the following information to helpdesk@kernel.org:

  • Name of the site: [foo.wiki.kernel.org]
  • Purpose of the site: [Foo kernel module documentation]
  • Reasons why it must be a wiki: [Migrating existing dokuwiki]
  • Contact address for spam reports and complaints: [foo@example.com]

Note

We only support new dokuwiki deployments.
