'''[[Incel Wiki]]''', a wiki [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]] of {{tag|incel}}, is currently available in two versions, both active.

*[[IncelWiki.com (en)|Incel Wiki (IncelWiki.com)]] — wiki using Creative Commons licensed <tt>Incels.info</tt> material, from original authors and creators of .wiki

'''Incels Wiki''',<ref>[https://Twitter.com/incelswiki Incels Wiki Twitter feed - @incelswiki]; ''<tt>Twitter.com</tt>''; accessed 1 October 2021.</ref> is a mostly hijacked encyclopedia of {{Wp|incel}} related topics in the [[:Category:Wiki English|English language]].  It was meant to be a repository of [[:Category:Academic|academia]], folk theories, memes, [[:Category:People|people]], and [[:Category:Art|art]], associated with involuntary celibates.  Involuntary celibates are defined on Incel Wiki as being those who for an extended period of time could not establish a romantic and / or [[:Category:Sex|sexual]] relationship, even after approaching a wide variety of people.

;''Creation

Incel Wiki was first [[Founder|created]] by William, the [[owner]] of <tt>YoureNotAlone.co</tt> (previously <tt>Incelistan.net</tt>) in June 2018 [https://archive.is/0W6Se source], as a place to be non-ideological about incels.  However he was never given server access, only MediaWiki access, before he moved the [[wiki]] to his own server at IncelWiki.com.

;''Domain name changes

In November 2018, the domain named changed from the first domain name: <tt>Incels.info</tt>, to <tt>Incels.Wiki</tt>.<ref>[[Archive.org:20200902020728/https://Incels.co/threads/incel-wiki-url-change.88924/|Incel Wiki URL change]]; ''<tt>Incels.co</tt>'' (via [[Archive.org]]); 14 November 2018; archived 2 September 2020.</ref>  Possibly due to Afilias dropping <tt>Incels.me</tt>, and the <tt>Incels.co</tt> 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 <tt>Incels.Wiki</tt> and <tt>Incels.co</tt> 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 <tt>https://IncelWiki.com</tt>.<ref>[[Archive.org:20200522175656/https://YoureNotAlone.co/t/incels-wiki-was-taken-from-me-after-adminning-and-writing-the-majority-of-it-for-2-years/1777|Incels.wiki was taken from me after adminning and writing the majority of it for 2 years]]; ''<tt>YoureNotAlone.co</tt>'' (via [[Archive.org]]); You're not Alone - forum; 16 May 2020; archived 22 May 2020.</ref>

;''Hosting

Incels.Wiki is owned and hosted by the owners of SanctionedSuicide / Incels.is / Looksmax.org, etc.

;''Account granting

Registration of a new [[user]] account takes place through granting anonymous [[IP editor]]s registration after they have made good [[edit]]s.
