Wikibase.cloud requires a user account to use. Here’s everything you need to know to create and activate your account.

Your invite code
To create an account, you’ll need an invite code.

Wikibase.cloud is in a closed beta, which means we have limited capacity to offer. If you’re interested in a Wikibase.cloud instance, you can fill out an application for early access.

We’ll consider each application on its merits, but we’ll give greater consideration to projects aligned with our movement and Linked Open Data strategies. We’ll open up more capacity once our beta comes to an end.

Create an account
On the wikibase.cloud front page, click the "Get started" button on the top right to open the account creation page.

Verify your email address
Before you can create a wiki, you need to verify the email address you provided. Check your email -- you should receive a message that looks like this:

Click the "Verify email" button in the email. When you load the wikibase.cloud dashboard again, you'll see that the warning has disappeared. In its place is a blue "+" button, which allows you to create your first wiki.
