Skins offered[edit]

  • Chick
  • Classic
  • Cologne Blue

  • MySkin
  • Nostalgia
  • Simple

Description[edit]

EditThis.info is a wiki farm running MediaWiki 1.15.1. The earliest date related to the farm is December 2005, which would make it the second oldest wiki farm, behind Fandom. It has far fewer features than other wiki farms; thus, it's preferable to choose another wiki farm to move your wiki to, and if your wiki does decide to move to EditThis.info, then you'll have to compensate for the lack of features by creating workarounds for missing features if possible.

How to move there[edit]

If you have a DB Dump under 2.1 MB just use Special:Import. If your dump is over 2.1 MB, you must apply for advanced hosting, and install MediaWiki yourself. Any size dump can be imported using advanced hosting.

Description[edit]

A lot of enticing promises on the features page. "100% free. Unlimited diskspace (storage). Store as many images and articles as you like, without ever running out of space. Unlimited bandwidth (transfer)." First edit on the wiki main page was June 2009, so may not be there in the long term.

For advanced hosting. "With our Advanced Hosting, you will receive full FTP and Cpanel access. This means you can change templates, install extensions, and instantly make whatever changes you wish to the look, feel and functionality of your wiki. You will have complete unrestricted control of your wiki. Wikis using our Advanced Hosting will be setup under a .net subdomain, eg. example.wikkii.net."

As of August 21, 2015, it is no longer accessible.
