The wiki
Every tag can have a wiki page explaining what it’s for and how to use it. Find them under Tags → Wiki, or with the ? next to a tag in search results and on post pages. Searching for a single tag shows the first paragraph of its page above the results.
A page’s title is the tag’s name, so Long Hair and long_hair are the
same page, and a page can exist before any post has the tag. The page of
an aliased tag points to the tag it’s aliased to.
Anyone with the Edit the wiki and artists permission (members, by default) can
start or change a page. Every change is kept: History lists them,
and you can view any old version or revert to it. If someone else saves
the page while you’re editing it, you’re told instead of overwriting
their change, and your text is kept so you can save again.
Recent changes on the wiki’s index (/wiki_page_versions) lists
the changes to every page, newest first, and can be filtered by user.
Other names
A page can list the tag’s other names: what it’s called elsewhere,
such as its Japanese name, a romanisation or a pixiv tag. Write them
separated by spaces, with underscores for spaces within a name
(長い髪 long_locks). They’re shown under the title and kept in the
page’s history, and the wiki’s search finds pages by them as well as by
title, so a tag can be found by what other sites call it.

Everything else is shown as written; HTML isn’t allowed. The syntax is a subset of Danbooru’s DText, so pages copied from there mostly work.
