This is the sandbox of a user who stalks Special:RecentChanges way too much. =Starting a wiki (essay)= After requesting a wiki, you now wonder, now what? Well, this essay is here to help.

Start out private
This one may surprise some, but sometimes it's better to start a wiki private, particularly if you want to prepare for more users to edit your wiki.

Design a main page
By default, Miraheze will create a main page for you, but it's pretty basic, and most likely not very useful for most wikis. A good main page will welcome all contributors. First, say who you are, and describe your content in a short paragraph. Another idea is adding navigation to your main page. For example, the Azure Striker Gunvolt wiki has categories on the main page. If your wiki is about a piece of media, you can also put news on the main page.

Extensions
Extensions are not a requirement for a good wiki, but they can be useful. It can't hurt to take a look at them and see what you want to enable. You can always disable it if you want to.

Skins
Skins are also not a requirement for a good wiki, but they can give editors and readers options on how they want their experience to be. Like extensions, you can always disable them if you want to.
