4 Strategies to Make Your Wiki More Playful
Introduction
Hey there, fellow knowledge enthusiasts! Buckle up for a wild ride because we will turn your wiki into a playground of creativity and efficiency. Let’s dive into four game-changers that’ll make your wiki a space for information and a playful hub!
1. Theme Thrills: Ride the Seasonal Wave ☃️
Just picture this: your wiki gets a fresh look with every season, from spring blooms to cozy winter vibes. On the days of Halloween and Christmas, you can also add a little festival atmosphere to the wiki page.
Here is what our wiki on GROWI.cloud had in spring:
For Christmas in Winter:
Dynamic background themes are not just eye candy; they are an invitation to explore, engage, and have more fun. By changing themes with the seasons or special occasions, users would stick around and explore.
In our service GROWI.cloud, we offer a total of 10 rich themes, including themes with selectable light/dark modes. However, whether it is a personal or a company one, this rule applies to any wiki you are making.
2. Color Meets Efficiency: Use Bootstrap 🎨
You can also combine wiki script with Bootstrap to create more engaging pages. With Bootstrap, you can add vibrant color alarm cards for easy navigation. It is not just about looking cool but also helps you organize your content clearly and easily to catch the main point.
Let’s say you want to make an announcement about this year’s Christmas Party. Of course, you can organize it in this way:
But things could be dramatically different when you just add a little bit of Bootstrap elements:
The information you want to share on Wiki is the same but the way it is presented is much more charming.
You can download Bootstrap from the official website for your wiki use. Or you can use our online wiki service GROWI.cloud which provides Bootstrap function.
Moreover, if you would like to know about the Bootstrap codes used in the Christmas Announcement we shared, check here:

Mermaid can help you turn complicated processes into eye-catching visuals. With Mermaid, you can tidy up the information yourself but also provide others a way to understand your wiki with clear but beautiful diagrams.
You can plugin Mermaid into your own wiki or use GROWI.cloud service which also provides a Mermaid function.
Here are the examples of how Mermaid would look on the Wiki platform:
4. HackMD: Where Collaboration Meets Security 👥
HackMD makes collaboration a cakewalk when more and more people join in remote work and have a team spread across the globe.
HackMD is an open-source tool that allows multiple people to edit a document written in Markdown and preview it in real time. Usually, it is hard for multiple people to edit on the same wiki page so individual works could take time and it is not that fun. But with HackMD, it is easy editing for everyone, from newbies to markdown maestros. Also, you don’t need to worry about your data’s security pro
