Build a Collection of Favourite Wiki Pages
In this article
A wiki is a rabbit hole in the best way. You go in to check one thing and come out forty minutes later with six new tabs. A wiki Glubler keeps that trail so you can come back to it.
This is a genuinely useful everyday use of Glubler, and it needs no technical knowledge at all. You are just saving websites into named lists.
Create Your Wiki Glubler

3Give it a name — Knowledge Base, Things I Want to Read, whatever you will recognise
4Save it
Glue Your First Site
Take a wiki you use, copy its main address, and drop it into the search bar at the top of Glubler.
- Copy the site's main address from your browser
- Paste it into the search bar
- A preview opens — click GLUE
- Pick your wiki Glubler from the list
Add each wiki you use as its own entry. Each one takes a few seconds.
You can glue the website, not an individual page
Glubler saves websites, not individual web pages. Paste a site's main address and glue it once. If a particular page you liked lives inside that site, glue the site itself and return to that page from there.
Organising by Subject
A flat list of forty wiki links stops being useful quickly. Once you have more than a dozen, break it up.
On a Pro plan you can put lists inside lists, so your structure can look like this:
• glued: wikipedia.org, britannica.com
• "History" a Subglubler
• glued: worldhistory.org
• "Science" a Subglubler
• glued: sciencedirect.com, nature.com
• "Places" a Subglubler
• glued: atlasobscura.com
To add one, open the Glubler, use Create and choose Subglubler, then name it. It always attaches to the level you are currently looking at.
No Pro plan? Keep it flat and just use several separate Glublers — History, Science, Places. You can make as many as you like for free.
Finding Pages Worth Saving
You do not have to already know the page. Two habits help:
- Save on sight. If it makes you curious, glue it. You can always remove it later, and a mediocre entry in a list you love beats a perfect list you never built.
- Let the feed surface things. If you follow people who save interesting references, their finds reach your feed. See Tune Feed to control how much of that you see.
Adding a Batch at Once
If you already have a list of wiki links, you do not have to add them one at a time.
Go to Settings → Data → Import and upload a CSV. Each row needs a website address, and the Hierarchy column decides which list it lands in:
wikipedia.org,Wikipedia,Knowledge Base
// save into a Subglubler
nature.com,Nature,Knowledge Base > Science
Glubler creates any lists it needs and skips anything you have already saved. Full details in Import / Export Glublers.
Note: A file with nested rows needs a Pro plan. A flat list of links is fine on Free.
Share It
Once it is worth showing someone — a partner, a friend, a study group — open the Glubler and click Share. On a phone that opens your usual sharing menu; on a computer it copies the link.
Useful variations:
- Share the whole Knowledge Base, or just the Science Subglubler if that is the part worth their time
- Click TRACK on a collection so other people can follow it, rather than you sending links one at a time
- Anyone who follows it sees new pages as you glue them
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I save a specific article, not just the site?
No. Glubler saves whole websites, not individual web pages. Paste the site's main address and glue the site once — you can then find the article you were after from there.
What if I glue the same site twice?
Nothing happens — Glubler recognises it and keeps a single copy, so you will not end up with duplicates.
How do I remove a site I no longer want?
Open the Glubler, find the entry, and use the remove control on it. Removing it only takes it out of that one collection.
Does nesting cost anything?
Subglublers need Pro at $4.32 per month. Everything else, including any number of separate top-level Glublers, is free.
Can I rename a Glubler later?
Yes, and it is a good idea to name it for what it is rather than a vague label. A list called Knowledge Base is one you will actually open again.
Is this all Glubler does?
No — a wiki collection is just one kind of list. The same approach works for travel planning, recipes, projects, or study reading. See What is Glubler for the wider picture.
