How to Contribute

Islam.wiki is a community-driven wiki. Anyone can contribute by creating an account and submitting edits. Our editorial model combines community participation with human moderation and theological review, ensuring that every page reflects the standards of classical Islamic scholarship.

Creating an Account

Register at /auth/register with a valid email address. After email verification, your account begins at Trust Level 0. All edits at this level are reviewed before going live. As your contributions are approved and you demonstrate reliability and knowledge, your trust level increases automatically. There is no waiting period — consistent quality contributions lead directly to increased trust.

Trust Levels

• Level 0 (New): All edits require review by a human moderator or AI screening before publication. Suitable for new contributors.
• Level 1 (Trusted): Minor edits (typos, formatting, small factual additions) are auto-approved. Major structural changes still require review.
• Level 2 (Editor): Most edits auto-approved. Can review and approve edits from Level 0 and Level 1 contributors. Can create new pages.
• Level 3 (Moderator): All edits auto-approved. Full review authority over all other contributors. Can suspend accounts for policy violations.
• Level 4 (Admin): Full site access including configuration, user management, and category structure.

Editorial Standards

All content must be sourced from primary Islamic references. Every hadith must include its collection, book, and number (e.g., Bukhari 1:1). Every scholarly opinion must cite the scholar and their work. We do not publish personal opinions or unsourced claims. Transliteration should follow standard academic conventions. Arabic text must be verified for accuracy before submission.

What We Need Most

Currently our highest-priority contribution areas are: expanding People biographies (scholars, Companions, narrators), adding Tafsir content to Quran pages, writing Articles on underrepresented topics, translating content into Arabic, Indonesian, French, Turkish, and Urdu, and improving Hadith explanations with context and scholarly commentary.

Reporting Errors

If you find an error — theological, factual, or typographical — you can flag any page using the flag icon. Flagged pages are prioritized in the moderation queue. For significant theological concerns, use the contact form to reach our editorial team directly. We take accuracy seriously and respond to all substantive reports.
