Namuwiki (Korean: 나무위키; lit. tree wiki) is a Korean language wiki. It was launched on 17 April 2015, is powered by the proprietary wiki software The Seed, and is currently based in Paraguay. According to Similarweb, it is the seventh most visited website in South Korea.[1]
The material found on it is written in a personal/subjective style that was characteristic of the wiki from which it was forked, the Rigveda Wiki. It has much more lax guidelines than Wikipedia, does not necessarily require references or sources, and has been criticized as being inaccurate and biased.[2]
As of December 2022, Namuwiki contained approximately 4,760,171 main articles (including redirects), compared to 3,222,894 pages (including redirects) on the Korean Wikipedia as of May 2024.
