About Nevada Wiki

Nevada Wiki is a public, community-edited encyclopedia focused entirely on the state of Nevada. From remote desert ghost towns to the legislative history of Carson City, Nevada Wiki aims to document everything about the Silver State — past, present, and future.

What Is Nevada Wiki?

Nevada Wiki is a collaborative project to build the most comprehensive knowledgebase of all things Nevada. It is open to the public — anyone can read, edit, or create articles about:

Cities, towns, and tribal communities
Nevada law, government, and elections
Geography, environment, and infrastructure
Culture, history, and local lore
Schools, universities, and public services
Notable people, events, and issues

Who Runs Nevada Wiki?

This project is independently operated by volunteers. It is not affiliated with the State of Nevada, any official government body, or commercial entity. Content is moderated by a group of community editors and administrators who maintain the site's standards and organization.

Why Nevada Wiki Exists

While platforms like Wikipedia offer general information, Nevada Wiki is built for deeper detail — the kind of regional, civic, cultural, and historical knowledge that often gets overlooked elsewhere. We want to preserve and document Nevada’s unique identity and help future generations access that knowledge.
