You can now download our pages as PDF or EPUB books! To do so, open the main menu and click "Create a book" at the far end of it. Then follow the instructions. You can add several different pages to a book, and then download it all as one file. We hope you enjoy this new feature!

We are proud to announce our brand new Essays space! Read our release here. The new custom-built essays frontend looks closer to a blog and whereas the legacy essays space ordered essays by author, this new interface orders them by publication date with a sidebar of available items. It also provides an excerpt of the essay, ultimately all improving discovery.

We now have an onboarding page for new editors! This will help our new editors get up to speed on how ProleWiki works and what they can do once their account is approved.

Our comrade Jucheguevara has provided all financial support to upgrade ProleWiki's servers to a VPS for one year. This means we'll be quickly having full support for internationalization and additional features, possibly in less than a month. Our appreciation to comrade Jucheguevara!

  1. ProleWiki now has a centralized webpage: https://prolewiki.org. This will make translations much easier in the future,[1] but it also means you should refrain from translating anything at the moment, since we would probably need a lot of work to transfer articles later. See the Lemmygrad post for more information.
  2. We had to restrict creating and editing articles for anonymous and new users because of spamming. Contact us at our community in Lemmygrad, and we'll quickly unrestrict your access. Check out the Lemmygrad post about it.
  1. This was, in reality, a very bad idea. We use a different system for translation now.
