Wiki

The wiki command (alias w) reads and writes pages on a project’s wiki.

Every subcommand needs a project. Pass --project <identifier>, or rely on the default project of the active profile (see auth).

listList wiki pages in a project.

getView a page's content, metadata, and history.

createCreate a new page or overwrite an existing one.

updateEdit content, rename, or attach files.

deletePermanently remove a page.

list

redmine wiki list [flags]

Aliases: ls. Lists each page’s title and last-modified timestamp. Results are paginated server-side; combine --limit 0 with --offset to walk large wikis.

Flag	Description
--project	Project identifier or numeric ID. Falls back to the default project of the active profile.
--limit	Maximum number of results (0 for all)
--offset	Result offset for pagination
-o, --output	Output format: table, json, csv

Default

redmine wiki list --project myproject

JSON

redmine wiki list --project myproject -o json

Paginated

redmine wiki list --project myproject --limit 10 --offset 20

get

redmine wiki get <page> [flags]

Aliases: show, view. Prints the page metadata and full Textile/Markdown source. Pass --version to fetch a historical revision instead of the current one.

Redmine 7.0 added the owning project to the wiki page API response, so wiki get shows a Project row (and a project key in JSON output) against 7.0+ servers. Older servers do not send it and the row is omitted.

Flag	Description
--project	Project identifier or numeric ID
--version	Page version to fetch (omit or 0 for the latest)
--include	Include related data. Only attachments is supported.
-o, --output	Output format

redmine wiki get WikiStart --project myproject
redmine wiki get WikiStart --project myproject --version 3
redmine wiki get WikiStart --project myproject --include attachments

Note

Page names with spaces or slashes are URL-escaped automatically, so quote them in your shell: redmine wiki get "Release Notes/2025-Q4" --project myproject.

create

redmine wiki create <page> [flags]

Aliases: new. Creates a new wiki page. If a page with the same name already exists, Redmine overwrites it. Use update when you want to be sure you are editing rather than replacing.

Flag	Description
--project	Project identifier or numeric ID
-t, --text	Page content in Textile/Markdown. required
--title	Display title (defaults to the page name)
--comments	Change comment recorded in the page history
--attach	Path to a file to attach (repeatable)
-o, --output	Output format

redmine wiki create MyPage --project myproject --text "h1. Hello World"

redmine wiki create MyPage --project myproject \
  --text "Content here" --title "My Page" --comments "Initial draft"

redmine wiki create MyPage --project myproject \
  --text "See diagram" --attach ./diagram.png

Tip

Pipe long content from a file: redmine wiki create Notes --project myproject --text "$(cat notes.md)".

update

redmine wiki update <page> [flags]

Aliases: edit. Edits an existing page. Only the fields you pass change. When --text is omitted, the current page text is fetched and resent unchanged so that retitling or re-commenting does not wipe content.

Flag	Description
--project	Project identifier or numeric ID
-t, --text	New page content. If omitted, the current text is preserved.
--title	New display title
--comments	Change comment recorded in the page history
--attach	Path to a file to attach (repeatable)
--expect-version	Expected current page version. The server returns 409 Conflict (and the CLI surfaces error code conflict) if the page has moved on since you last fetched it.
--ensure-current	Refetch the page first and assert its current version on update. Mutually exclusive with --expect-version.
--section	Section number (1-based) to update. When set, only that section is replaced; the rest of the page remains unchanged. Requires --text.
--section-hash	Hash of the original section content, used by Redmine for conflict detection on section edits. Requires --section.

redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject --text "Updated content"

redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject --comments "Fixed typo"

redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject --title "New Title"

redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject --attach ./screenshot.png

# Update only section 5 of the page
redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject \
  --section 5 --text "h3. Updated Section Content"

# Section update with conflict detection
redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject \
  --section 5 --section-hash abc123 \
  --text "h3. Updated Section Content"

# Optimistic concurrency: fail if the page has been edited since version 7
redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject \
  --text "Updated content" --expect-version 7

# Convenience: refetch the page first and reuse its current version
redmine wiki update MyPage --project myproject \
  --text "Updated content" --ensure-current

Note

Without --expect-version or --ensure-current, wiki update happily overwrites concurrent edits. Use one of these flags whenever multiple authors might be editing the same page so a stale change fails fast with code: "conflict" instead of silently winning the race.

delete

destructive

redmine wiki delete <page> [flags]

Aliases: rm. Permanently removes the page along with all its attachments and version history. Child pages are re-parented to the wiki root rather than deleted.

Flag	Description
--project	Project identifier or numeric ID
-f, --force	Skip the confirmation prompt

redmine wiki delete MyPage --project myproject
redmine wiki delete MyPage --project myproject --force

Caution

There is no undo. Page history is destroyed in the same call, so make sure you have a copy if you might need the content back.
