Soyjak Wiki, also known as the Shiki or HTSMwiki by detractors, is an English-language MediaWiki-based community-driven online encyclopedia featuring independently fact-checked and peer-reviewed information about soyjaks, imageboard culture, and many other topics. Soyjak Wiki was created by Soot on March 29, 2021, and is currently administered by Cobblestone.
Soyjak Wiki began as a way to document the imageboard soyjak.party, but at the start of the Salt era, changed to document all Soysphere sites in general.
To get started, see Soyjak Wiki:Portals.
History
Soyjak Wiki was created by Soot on March 29, 2021 at 3:04 PM UTC.[1] The first account that wasn't Soot, User:Chud, was created 58 minutes later. The first file uploaded was File:Soyjak smiling computer.jpg and the first article created was Soyjak.[2]
Soot retained ownership of the 'ki after the Great Purchase, but sold it to Angeleno on August 16, 2022. During the Soypocalypse, Angeleno created the Shunker as a subdomain. After Froot bought the main site, 'leno became an admin and the two sites were officially under the same ownership again.
On December 24, 2023, 'leno resigned as wiki admin and appointed Root, the manager at the time, as his successor. On July 13, 2024, Root resigned and appointed Tefal as his successor. Tefal would be succeeded by SprokemowerMan on December 20.
On August 7, 2025, SprokemowerMan resigned and appointed Cobblestone as his successor. Shortly after, she introduced the SNCA namespace and overhauled the main page. Around this time, Limeade began deleting and censoring pages about splinters. The Gradingcaust would take place in January 2026. In March, the janny noticeboard was created. In May, Limeade's censorship was undone.
On July 14, 2026, Cobblestone stepped down and appointed Fenriris as her successor. The wiki went down on August 5 as part of the 2026 outage and came back 2 days later. On August 12, Fenriris resigned and gave the 'ki back to Cobblestone, but Cobblestone's account was hacked a day later, causing the wiki to be defaced and go offline.
When the wiki came back a few hours later, Salt appointed himself the acting wiki admin. A few days later, the Moderator Tetrarchy was established. On September 8, Salt appointed Cobblestone and Fenriris as co-admins, dissolving the Tetrarchy.
In October, the SNCA namespace was replaced with the Draft namespace. In November, community missions and The Soy Chronicle were established.
Influence
Soyjak Wiki has been used as a source on KnowYourMeme[3] and Soyjak Wiki articles are frequently posted on 4chan.[4][5][6][7]
Soyjak Wiki is popular among teenagers with too much time on their hands. Often they stumble across the article on Classic Soyjak while searching for new Wojak memes on the internet.
It's occasionally used as a source on Wikitionary[8] and by Google's AI on Soyspeak and Soysphere-adjacent terms.
Community
The number of editors who actively maintain the wiki is very small. The wiki's community can be said to be the most insular among all of the official Soysphere sites, and is mostly left alone by even the main site's leadership. Its users are represented by the James soyjak.
Moderation staff
Main article: Soyjak Wiki:Staff
The wiki has had multiple administrators over its lifetime, beginning with Soot himself, to Angeleno, Root, Tefal, SprokemowerMan, Cobblestone, and Fenriris. There are also a number of other administrators who are also administrators of the main site.
The wiki is also moderated by a number of janitors (otherwise known as helpers) who have the ability to protect pages and ban users. Helpers are also responsible for approving edits submitted by non-automoderated users. A smaller group of users known as approvers assist with this while not having the full suite of janny tools that helpers have. Most helpers and approvers are promoted on a basis of merit through their contributions to the wiki (editing pages, reverting vandalism, etc.)
After Angeleno acquired the wiki, users known not to be vandals were given the ability to rollback pages.
Controversies
Soyjak Wiki's moderators were accused of silencing dissent and promoting a false narrative by some soyjak.party users. They've stopped doing this now, but that's been replaced with barely doing fucking anything besides partaking in edit wars themselves and editing shit nobody cares about. They do it for free because they don't do anything.
Often, users like you engage in vandalism and edit wars when an article expresses an opinion they disagree with, sometimes encompassing one thread and sometimes the entire site.
