Category:ShoutWiki — this category here on WikiIndex contains wiki sites hosted by ShoutWiki Limited,[1] a wiki company from England in the United Kingdom which provides a MediaWiki wiki farm.
ShoutWiki – express yourself and be heard! — is a free, advertising-supported (GoogleAds) wiki hosting service – aka a wiki farm, which uses the MediaWiki software. ShoutWiki offer three different types of free wiki hosting solutions; of which each one has different features: public wikis, private wikis, and school / university wikis.[2]
- Features
Unlike many other wiki farms, ShoutWiki offers additional available functions compared to a standard MediaWiki installation.[3] One notable example is social tools - features like user profiles, boards, friending and foeing, gifts, awards, and so on - which can be used to enhance the wiki experience and make editing more fun and appealing. As of early 2022, ShoutWiki is available with the option of fifteen (15) skins,[4] with some skins created and / or adapted by ShoutWiki members. However, it should also be noted that some standard MediaWiki features are disabled on ShoutWiki.[which?][clarify please]
- Backups
There are backups for some of the ShoutWiki wikis at the Internet Archive WaybackMachine located at Archive.org. As of 6 June 2012, there are instant database dumps available for individual wikis. See here.
- Staff
ShoutWiki's staff consists of MediaWiki developers and editors who have plenty of experience with the software. It is currently headed by Lewis Cawte, who owns more than 75% of the company, with more than 75% voting rights.[5] The full list of ShoutWiki staff are as follows:[6]
- Lewis Cawte — director, Chief Technical Officer[5]
- Jack Phoenix — customer support lead
- Nicmavr — customer support
- DeviantSalens
- Isarra Yos — user experience designer
- Former staff
The following are former ShoutWiki staff members:[7]
- Richard Cook — former director, resigned 31 May 2017[5]
- SamanthaNguyen — customer support
- Jedimca0

- Major outages
ShoutWiki had a major outage on 17 June 2011, that lasted until around 10 January 2012. Since it took this long time to set up a new server, and probably many wikis would have been moved to another host, staff decided that they'll recover existing wikis on demand.
On 3 March 2012, there was another major outage. This time, however, there was a problem with the backup system; and all edits made since the last recover were lost, so nothing had been recovered since 17 June 2011.
