Hey guys, I'm going through the user manual now and holy shite! But I think that after a week or two of playing with this it should be operational and looking like our own, not some wikiwannabe. It's pretty customizable, but NOT user-friendly in that department. I'll be editing .php code til my eyes bleed.

Browse by Zine Title: #-D · E-J · K-O · P-S · T-Z
NOTE: Before adding a project to ZineWiki, please browse the Previously Featured Articles for examples of the best ZineWiki has to offer.
Keep in mind, ZineWiki is not a classifieds section, it is an encyclopedia.
New entries should NOT contain simply a "sample page" and contact information.

Featured Article!

Black Friday Edit-a-Thon


Getting a database error when you search for an article? There is a problem on the back end, if an article doesn't exist, you are getting an error instead of the prompt to start a new article. We are working on it! In the meantime, it seems the only way to start a new article is by creating a link to a new article title on an existing page (like your own user discussion page) and then following that link and editing it.

Please consider joining dozens of zinesters this Friday to edit and update Zine Wiki!
