Did you know it’s possible to create new wiki pages on Brilliant? There are thousands of proofs, theorems, mathematicians, concepts, and physical phenomena that have yet to be explained on Brilliant, and this week, we’re inviting you to join in the fun and create a new page about something you’re interested it. It’s okay if you can’t write a complete page - just creating pages about important ideas and adding a few sentences makes it hundreds of times more likely that someone else will find the page and add to it in the future.
A few guidelines/requests:
How to create a new page:
1. Navigate to the community section of the site.
2. Choose “Post something” at the top of the page.
3. Post a new wiki.
4. Tell us about it here in the comments.
Thanks for helping make Brilliant great!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

I think there should be a way to find this wikis easily. For example, we could have a 'random page' button or a 'share wiki with community'. Also, we could bring back the 'Featured Wiki'

Agnishom,
We regularly evaluate new contributions to see if they can fit into the skill map. For things that don't easily fit into the skill map, we try to link to them from other places and/or hope people will find them through search.
If we end up with enough high quality pages that don't fit elsewhere, we would definitely consider something like what you've suggested.
I have written a short wiki on Chain reaction - the game. I think it should be placed in Logic --> Games --> Deterministic games. I have also posted a couple of easy questions related to this game (Part 1 and Part 2). I will be sharing more challenging ones soon.... I hope the community likes this interesting game.
EDIT: I have shared a challenging generalization problem as a note.
