The '''Bitcoin wiki''' is maintained by the Bitcoin community.
The '''Bitcoin Wiki''' is maintained by the Bitcoin community. The wiki was originally created utilising the {{tag|DokuWiki}} software, and originally licensed its content under the {{tag|Wiki WTFPL|WTFPL}}.  It subsequently moved to the ubiquitous {{tag|MediaWiki}} software, and changed its license to the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution|Creative Commons Attribution 3.0}} (CC-BY 3.0) license.  As well as insisting all [[user]]s register with a valid and {{tag|ConfirmEmail|confirmed e-mail}} address, it has also instigated {{tag|PayToEdit|pay-to-edit}} as a [[spam]] prevention method.  It uses the MediaWiki [[mw:Extension:CryptoPayment|CryptoPayment]] extension, and the current fee (as of February 2018) is 0.001 BTC, which is presently less than 1 USD.  In spite of this, tens, sometimes hundreds of user accounts are added per day (as of 20131028).[https://en.Bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&offset=&limit=500&username=&group=&creationSort=1&desc=1]


Hundreds of user accounts are added per day (as of 20131028), I have excluded them from the RecentChanges URL.
From its 'about' page:
{{cquote|This wiki is a public resource for the {{tag|community}} of Bitcoin users, developers, and businesses as well as anyone interested in Bitcoin.


[[Category:FoundedIn2011]]<!--https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Special:AncientPages-->
Unlike [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], the Bitcoin Wiki is not an [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]], and includes things like non-encyclopedia details (e.g., exact specifications on service fees, product performance, etc), how-to manuals, protocol specifications, original research, etc.  There are also no notability requirements beyond the requirement that the material be of general interest to some segment of the Bitcoin community or the Bitcoin-curious general public.
 
Because this resource is open to editing by the general public, readers should be aware that the material presented here often does not reflect the views of the entire Bitcoin community and may be outdated, incorrect, or outright malicious at times.}}
