We've just launched an update to the create-a-page flow for most pages, which now includes a form! This new form will collect a few basic details about the specific article you're creating, and will use your answers to auto-populate a table which will provide machine-readable information for third party projects (for company and product articles, it will also populate the infobox in the template!). This information will be used by projects like the in-development browser extension, as well as anyone who wants to access some hard data on the Wiki's pages.
Check it out by hitting the create a page button in the sidebar!

We're phasing out the Louis Rossmann video directory in favour of a more general Article suggestions page, created by the eminent JamesTDG!
This will allow anyone to contribute their (hopefully sourced!) ideas to the Wiki without needing to create a full article, and will provide an excellent repository of ideas for editors in need of inspiration.

We're opening up applications for moderators! Please see here for full instructions on how to apply.
In short, we're looking for motivated individuals who are willing to patrol the Wiki, make sure that articles are up to scratch, and take actions to protect the wiki from spam or malicious content whenever appropriate.

A July 2025 firmware update pushed by Echelon Fitness retroactively blocked third-party fitness applications from connecting to their devices. The update affected users of QZ (qdomyos-zwift), an open-source bridging application that enables cross-platform compatibility with fitness platforms like Zwift, Peloton Digital, & others.
