'''[[Incel Wiki]]''', also known as '''incelwiki.com''' is an {{tag|encyclopedia}} of incel related topics in the English language. It is meant to be a repository of academia, folk theories, memes, people, and art associated with involuntary celibates.  Involuntary celibates are defined on Incel Wiki as being those who for an extended period of time couldn't establish a romantic and/or sexual relationship even after approaching a wide variety of people.  

It was created by William, the owner of yourenotalone.co (previously incelistan.net) in June 2018 [https://jyvurentropy.home.blog/2020/07/16/interview-with-the-creator-of-the-incel-wiki/ source], as a place to be non-ideological about incels.

In November 2018, the domain named changed from the first domain name: incels.info, to incels dot wiki<ref>https://incels.co/threads/incel-wiki-url-change.88924/</ref>. Possibly due to Afilias dropping incels.me, and the incels.co administrators moving all the sites on their server off Afilias owned TLDs out of a protective mechanism.

In May 2020, the guy who pays for the incels dot wiki and incels dot co server decided he had issues with the incel wiki creator and original writers, and so the wiki was moved by the original creator and original writers to https://incelwiki.com <ref>https://yourenotalone.co/t/incels-wiki-was-taken-from-me-after-adminning-and-writing-the-majority-of-it-for-2-years/1777</ref>

The wiki is owned and hosted by the owners of the yourenotalone.co forum as of May 2020.   Incelswiki.com has more stringent rules structure than most forums. The yourenotalone.co forum links to the wiki
