I heard of a few wikis and desktop apps which are FOSS, some has UI’s which look a bit old for, there are a few things like logseq I might try but from trying for a bit, i dont know how suitable it is for my usecase, but I want something that would be more specialized or at the very least have features that would be amazing for world building, (on a desktop app preferably but self hosted works too), like timelines, references to other pages, common stuff like Tags, Categories, and Taxonomies, graph view potentially, good search, templates. I don’t need all the features I listed, just some or what your think aligns with what I am looking for.

    I may have missed something, here so to make sure:

    1. Do you want a wiki specifically, or are you looking for a tool that would allow you to easily create and manage some worldbuilding bible, be it a wiki or not a wiki?
    2. Isn’t LibreOffice able to export to MediaWiki (Wikipedia)? I have not checked, and never used it, but I think it’s there somewhere.

    the best thing it can do is just make a document look good,

    It can also help you write the actual book, worrying about the document ‘look’ aka its formatting is optional (and if done properly, using Styles, it’s almost 100% automated) ;)

      1. Probably the second, I am not hard set on a wiki
      2. I know but, the tools you have during the creation process itself, its useful for writing books as you said, styling, but easy cross-page linking and a whole host of other things you might need for worldbuilding I think isnt avalible in libreoffice.
