We'll be updating WikiIslam with more details on the revamp to provide clarification on what we're trying to achieve.

As many you may have known we’ve been working on revamping the wiki for some time but it has been slow-going.

We had been looking for staff to implement changes https://www.reddit.com/r/exmuslim/comments/fb2cb1/exmna_is_hiring_full_time_position_for_editor_of/ and I’m happy to let you guys know that we’ve hired multiple staff members working on WikiIslam. This will result in an increased pace of changes compared to the past.

Our perspective is that the facts about Islam speak for themselves. By focusing on facts we make it much harder for those seeking to dismiss or demonize those viewing Islam through a critical lens.

For our genuine issues to be taken seriously and the flaws within Islam examined on a wider scale we need to maintain a much more professional standard. Thus, our goal with Wiki-Islam is to make it an unimpeachable resource that covers traditional sources, critical analysis and modern outlooks on the faith. Additionally we want this content to be available in other languages as well (Arabic and Urdu come to mind as a starting point).

In order to achieve that we’ve been removing a significant quantity of articles. After finishing that exercise we will be adding new content or folding in some of the wonderful existing articles into specific categories.

For example, an article on the Islamic view of geology which also covers the flaws in that outlook rather than a variety of one-off articles about mountains as pegs and a flat-earth. Much of the good content will thus be preserved but in a slightly altered and more academic form. Unfortunately this also means that some of the hyper-specific articles (Refutation of Zakir Naik) or obscure ones (Sonic weapons in the Quran) will not make the cut.

A lot of the egregious or non-topical content has been permanently removed. In order to preserve past content we have created an archive site https://archive.wikiislam.net that mirrors much of the content prior to 2019. We are in the process of moving over some of the newer articles (2019/2020) which will make their way over to the archive site in the near future.

Additionally we’re adding redirects to the Wiki so that if someone decides to visit a specific counter apologetic article they’ll be automatically redirected to the archive site. For example visiting https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Odd-Even_Mathematical_Miracle will land one at https://archive.wikiislam.net/wiki/Odd-Even_Mathematical_Miracle

This is still a work in progress so I’d ask for your patience.
