Wiki.js
Modern, extensible wiki and documentation platform

Wiki.js is a modern wiki and documentation platform designed for teams to create, organize, and publish internal knowledge and technical documentation. It focuses on a clean authoring experience (Markdown and visual editing), flexible content organization, and enterprise-style access controls.
Key Features
- Markdown editor and visual (WYSIWYG) editing experience for pages
- Powerful content organization with navigation, pages, and hierarchy
- Fine-grained access control with roles and permissions
- Authentication integrations (e.g., local auth and external identity providers)
- Version history and page revisions with restore/compare capabilities
- Git-based storage/synchronization options for backing content with repositories
- Search functionality for quickly finding content across the wiki
- Extensible architecture with modules/integrations (e.g., storage, auth, rendering)
Use Cases
- Internal company wiki for SOPs, onboarding, and team knowledge sharing
- Engineering documentation portal for runbooks, architecture docs, and APIs
- Project documentation site with controlled access for stakeholders
Limitations and Considerations
- Some advanced capabilities depend on configuring modules (auth/storage/search) and may require additional services
- Major version upgrades can require migration planning due to platform changes
Wiki.js is well-suited for organizations that want a polished documentation experience with strong permissions and integration options. Its modular approach makes it adaptable to different infrastructures, from small teams to larger environments with SSO and Git-backed workflows.
