Biographical Wiki

The  is a non-commercial wiki, begun early in 2007, some time after Familypedia was begun, which is "created specifically for publishing biographical information about people who have lived in this world and whose lives have already finished". It reached 5,000 biographies in November 2011, 13 months after number 4,000.

The page naming standard is the same as on Familypedia for most articles.

The wiki uses fairly standard MediaWiki software. Apart from an Infobox template, which contributors are urged to use, there are very few templates (two in mid-December 2011). The very small list of categories (17 in mid-December 2011, including just one - empty - surname category) is mostly to collect veterans of various wars, but users are able to create more categories.

As the licensing is (since early April 2007) the same as for Wikipedia and now Wikia, material may be copied to Familypedia with just the appropriate acknowledgment: Biogw‎. If the page name differs (which should be rare), use a pipe followed by the source wiki page name, e.g.
