This guide covers how to write and format articles for the Hack Club Wiki.

Article Structure

Every article should have:

  • A clear title (H1, auto-generated from frontmatter)
  • An intro paragraph — one or two sentences explaining what the article is about
  • Organized sections with H2/H3 headings
  • Links to related articles using WikiLink syntax

Tone

  • Clear and direct — write for a high schooler who's new to Hack Club
  • Friendly, not formal — we say "you" not "one"
  • Active voice — "Hack Club ships stickers" not "stickers are shipped"
  • No jargon — or explain it when you use it
