To use the Wiki app, you first have to set it up. You need to be an admin of the page or community and have "Manage apps of a page/community" permission to configure the app.

For information on showing your app's name in other languages, read Providing app names in other languages. You can also provide your wiki articles in multiple languages to ensure users can read the content in their preferred language.

Set up the app 

After adding a wiki app, you can configure the following settings:

• Name: Give your app a meaningful name that best reflects its topic and use case.
• Activate this app: Activate the app immediately or leave it in the deactivated mode. A deactivated app is only visible to admins of a page or community. Learn more in Activating and deactivating apps.
• URL: By default, the URL is generated from the app's name, but you can change it to something else. Any old links leading to the app won't work anymore after you change it.
• Publishers: Define who can publish wiki articles: Page/Community Admins or Everyone. Select the option that best suits your use case.
• Home article: Optionally, select an article to display first in the wiki app. This is useful if you have an article explaining the app and want to prioritize it. You have to create the article first to be able to select it. Learn more in Organizing wiki articles.
• Comments: Check if users should be able to like and comment on wiki articles. Allowing commenting can be advisable if the wiki intentionally aims to encourage discussion on, e.g., processes.
  • You can activate comments in the beginning and deactivate them later. Only admins can see comments after they're deactivated.
  • If you want your employees to discuss topics in detail, integrating the Forum app would be a better option.
• Hide author: Check if you want to hide the author's name on wiki articles. Admins can always see the author.
