SuicideWiki is an online repository of suicide reasons, methods and miscellany. It was founded on 18 November 2013 by Nathan Larson, who had noticed that there were not any other suicide-focused wikis with an OpenEdit edit mode. The site features suicide-related articles, quotes, essays, videos, and other content, including memorials of people who have committed suicide.[1]

This site is not to be confused with the International Suicide Prevention Wiki. After an announcement of the wiki's establishment was made at alt.suicide.holiday, and the site's purpose was explained as helping promote better public policy, enable people to make more informed suicide decisions, facilitate people's finding others to talk to about their suicidal feelings, etc. the general sentiment expressed in response was "oh just like the millions of others that do the same thing".[2] However, the views of the alt.suicide.holiday regulars are not necessarily to be construed as representing those of the suicide community as a whole; many opt for more moderated forums.

SuicideWiki has no regular users other than the owner. Someone asked at Suicide Methods Hideout, "what happens when you inevitably stop paying for the hosting? is it mirrored at some free wiki hosting operation? —obviously, there's less return-on-investment, for editors and their time, if the site disappears after a while"[3]
