Wiki Editor is an AI wiki-editing skill that edits pages with the correct syntax (wikitext, Markdown, Confluence): it detects the wiki engine, understands the markup, preserves local templates and infoboxes, suggests internal links, plans images, builds tables and categories, and writes the edit summary.
What this skill does
- Detects the wiki engine and syntax from URL, markup, editor and API signals — with a stated confidence level
- Asks targeted questions or researches when the engine is unknown, instead of guessing MediaWiki/Markdown
- Explains existing wikitext, Markdown, DokuWiki, XWiki or Confluence markup
- Analyzes and preserves local templates/infoboxes instead of replacing them with generic links
- Suggests internal crosslinks and redirects as a verified table (no overlinking)
- Backs claims with sources in the engine's own citation system (`<ref>`/`{{cite}}` or footnotes) — never invents citations
- Plans sensible, documentary images/files — no AI images as factual evidence
- Builds tables, categories/tags and interlanguage/language links per platform
- Explains diffs, checks markup risks and writes fitting edit summaries
- Recommends talk-page, sandbox or preview mode for large/risky changes
- Debugs common wiki problems and names the right official help sources
- Converts content between wiki formats when target system and syntax are certain enough
Description
Wiki Editor is a skill for professional, platform-correct wiki editing — it detects the wiki engine first and only then produces the right markup, instead of generically assuming MediaWiki or Markdown. That's the core difference from "write me some text": a Markdown answer to a MediaWiki page, or a Wikipedia infobox dropped onto a Fandom page, is a failure even if the prose is good. The skill reads URL, syntax, editor hints and the style of similar pages, rates its detection confidence, and on uncertainty outputs a neutral structure outline rather than guessing — for unknown wikis it asks targeted questions (URL, markup snippet, editor wording) or researches the official docs. It covers MediaWiki/Wikipedia/Fandom/wiki.gg/Miraheze, GitHub/GitLab/Gitea wikis, DokuWiki, BookStack, Wiki.js, Confluence, XWiki, TWiki/Foswiki, PmWiki, MoinMoin, TiddlyWiki, Tiki, Trac and Redmine. Ten modes cover daily work: detect engine, explain markup, improve page, find crosslinks, inspect templates, plan images/files, diff & edit summary, talk-page/sandbox draft, troubleshoot and migrate. It stays conservative and community-friendly throughout: local templates and infoboxes are preserved, not replaced; crosslinks hit only the first relevant mention (no overlinking, targets verified); images are treated as documentary (no invented AI images as factual evidence); and large or risky changes go to a sandbox or talk page first. On licenses, uploads, trademarks and copyright it gives careful pointers but no legal advice. It takes sources and rules seriously: claims are cited in the engine's own system (`<ref>`/`{{cite}}` or footnotes — no invention, no close paraphrasing), and it's aware of today's wiki policy — AI-content rules (e.g. Wikipedia's guideline against AI-generated article text, local bans like wiki.gg's), COI/paid disclosure, CC BY-SA licensing, accessibility (MOS:ACCESS) and the reality of article creation (notability, Draft/AfC, BLP). Every platform-specific fact was checked against current official documentation (as of 2026-06) — including the often-outdated ones like Confluence Cloud (ADF/JSON instead of wiki markup), Fandom's platform level, the Wiki.js version situation and MediaWiki temporary accounts.
Examples
What it does not do
- Doesn't assume an engine or emit platform markup before the engine is reasonably certain
- Doesn't replace local templates with generic links or copy templates without checking dependencies
- Doesn't invent template, page, category or language-link names — flags anything unverified
- Doesn't recommend AI images as real screenshots or documentary evidence
- Doesn't give legal advice on licenses/uploads/trademarks, and doesn't prepare mass edits without community approval
- Doesn't bypass a wiki's AI-content policy or generate article text where AI content is banned; doesn't ignore COI/paid disclosure
- Doesn't coach edit wars, manipulation or spam

Note
Gives technical and editorial guidance, not legal advice: on uploads, licenses, copyright, trademarks or community rules, always check the specific wiki's documentation. Strongest with a few inputs (URL, markup snippet or platform name); without them it works from clearly flagged assumptions or asks.

Frequently asked questions
What does Wiki Editor do?
Wiki Editor is an AI wiki-editing skill that edits pages with the correct syntax (wikitext, Markdown, Confluence): it detects the wiki engine, understands the markup, preserves local templates and infoboxes, suggests internal links, plans images, builds tables and categories, and writes the edit summary.
How do I edit a wiki page with the correct syntax?
Wiki Editor first detects the wiki engine (MediaWiki, Fandom, wiki.gg, GitHub/GitLab, DokuWiki, BookStack, Wiki.js, Confluence, XWiki and more) from the URL, markup and editor hints, and only then emits platform-specific markup such as wikitext, Markdown or Confluence macros. If the engine is unclear it asks targeted questions or researches, instead of guessing MediaWiki or Markdown.
Which wikis does Wiki Editor support?
Wiki Editor covers MediaWiki/Wikipedia/Fandom/wiki.gg/Miraheze, GitHub, GitLab and Gitea/Forgejo wikis, DokuWiki, BookStack, Wiki.js, Confluence, XWiki, TWiki/Foswiki, PmWiki, MoinMoin, TiddlyWiki, Tiki, Trac and Redmine — plus unknown wikis via a built-in detection protocol.
Does Wiki Editor replace my local templates and infoboxes?
No. Wiki Editor deliberately preserves local templates like {{ItemLink}}, {{Infobox}} or {{controls}} instead of swapping them for plain links, because they provide icons, tooltips, versions or styling. Template-touching changes are prepared as a sandbox or talk-page proposal.
Does Wiki Editor suggest AI images for wiki pages?
No. Wiki Editor never recommends invented AI images as real screenshots or documentary evidence. It prefers real screenshots, existing wiki files or diagrams and flags upload/license/community rules to check (not legal advice).
Can Wiki Editor create internal links and edit summaries?
Yes. Wiki Editor suggests internal crosslinks as a table (first relevant mention only, targets verified, no overlinking), explains diffs and writes fitting edit summaries; on MediaWiki it can use Action API search to resolve terms.
Which AI tools does Wiki Editor work with?
Claude (Projects & system prompt) · ChatGPT/Codex (Custom GPT & instructions) · Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline · Any LLM that reads SKILL.md or supports paste-in · Optional: web/fetch tool for unknown engines & local conventions
