Dashboard
Find, manage, and navigate all your wikis from one place.
The dashboard is the home screen of Wikis. Every wiki you own or that has been shared with you appears here as a card.
Search and filter
The search bar at the top accepts:
- Repository names — type
octocatto findoctocat/Spoon-Knife - Repository URLs — paste a full GitHub URL to jump directly to a matching wiki, or trigger generation if it doesn't exist yet
Next to the search bar, three filter buttons narrow the list:
| Button | Shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every wiki you can see (yours + shared) |
| My Wikis | Only wikis you created |
| Shared | Only wikis shared by others |

Each card shows:
- Repository name (
owner/repo) - Branch and page count
- Visibility badge —
Personal(lock icon) orShared(globe icon) - Creation date
- Status — generating wikis show a progress percentage; failed wikis appear in red with the error message
