What is the EVE University Wiki?

The EVE University Wiki (UniWiki), embedded in Capsuleers.App, is an English-language reference on how EVE Online works, free to read with no account. EVE University is one of the oldest training corporations in EVE Online, and its wiki — UniWiki — is where it writes down how the game works: combat and tackle, scanning and exploration, wormholes, industry, the market, fleet roles and every ship class. Thousands of articles, kept up to date by its members and by anyone who registers.

This page of Capsuleers.App shows that wiki in a frame. Search, navigation and articles are the wiki's own: Capsuleers.App does not copy, translate or change the content, it only puts it one click away from the other tools. To edit an article or open a discussion you need an account on wiki.eveuniversity.org, not here.

The wiki is in English. Pages can lag behind a recent patch: each article shows when it was last edited.

New pilots

Clear explanations of the basics: what a skill queue is, how warp works, what to do first.

Pilots changing career

Exploration, wormholes, industry, PvP: each activity explained from the start.

Veterans

Precise reference on mechanics — tackle ranges, scan probes, signature radius.

Is the EVE University Wiki free to read?

Yes. Reading needs no account and no membership in EVE University, either here or on wiki.eveuniversity.org.

Can I edit the wiki from Capsuleers.App?

Editing needs an account on wiki.eveuniversity.org. Capsuleers.App only frames the site and keeps no account or content of its own.

Is the wiki available in Italian?

No, the wiki is in English. For Italian content, Capsuleers.App publishes articles from its community writers.

Is the wiki up to date with the latest EVE Online patch?

The community keeps it current, but single pages can lag behind a recent change. Check the last-edit date shown on each article.

Why read the wiki here instead of on its own site?

It is the same wiki, with no changes. Here it sits next to the Capsuleers.App tools, so you can check a mechanic and go back to the fitting tool or the map without changing tab.
