As we head into the new school year, we are finally excited to announce the launch of the new UBC Wiki! This wiki was started years ago by the /r/UBC moderation team, and it just never got to a point where it was ready to be shared with the community. We are now ready to get it going again, and we hope that it will become a useful resource for everyone.

Over the next few days, we will be swapping out outdated links and content to this new wiki website. We hope that this new wiki will be easier to navigate and more accessible to all students. Having the wiki off site also means that we can make changes more quickly and easily, and that it isn’t affected by the limitations of one platform.

Over the next while, we will be adding more content to the wiki, and updating content that was written for the old wiki. We will also periodically post a thread for one particular topic to crowdsource information from the community. This should help us keep the wiki up to date and detailed.

The UBC Wiki is intended to be a community project, and we welcome contributions from all UBC community members. If you would like to contribute, you can see the instructions on this page, or see below:

If you are familiar with GitHub, you can also create an issue, or implement the changes yourself and submit a pull request into the STAGING branch. New ideas submitted by other means will be added as issues.

Technical details about the wiki can be found on the ⚙️UBCWiki Project page.

We hope that you find this wiki useful, and we look forward to seeing it grow and improve over time. Welcome to the new school year, and good luck with your studies!

    Huh, this is an interesting idea. SFU official departmental documentation is often out of date, and some kind of community-sourced knowledge repository is a really appealing idea. Reddit, Discord, etc are great, but they’re annoying to search and not well organized.
