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

1Open Glubler and click Create
2Choose Glubler
3Give it a name — Knowledge Base, Things I Want to Read, whatever you will recognise
4Save it

Glue Your First Pages

Take any wiki page you have open, copy its address, and drop it into the search bar at the top of Glubler.

  1. Copy the page address from your browser
  2. Paste it into the search bar
  3. A preview opens — click GLUE
  4. Pick your wiki Glubler from the list

Repeat for as many pages as you like. Each one takes a few seconds.

You can glue the site, not the individual page

Glubler saves websites, so glue the main site once rather than every article you liked. If you want a specific page, paste that page's own address instead and it saves as its own entry.

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:

"Knowledge Base" a Glubler
  • 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:

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:

// save into the main list
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I save a specific article, not just the site?

Yes. Paste the address of the exact page rather than the homepage, and it is saved as its own entry with that page's title.

What if I glue the same page twice?

Nothing happens — Glubler recognises it and keeps a single copy, so you will not end up with duplicates.

How do I remove a page 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.
