This page [[lists]] notable, past and present editors/contributors to[[WikiIslam]]. A short biography and brief details of their activities on the site are included when available.

{{user2|Claustrum}}, [[:ru:Участник:Claustrum|User page on the RU wiki]] {{small star}} : Claustrum is the administrator of the [[:ru:Заглавная_страница|Russian]] WikiIslam, the site's first sub-domain, and maintains most of its articles. He has also been of great help providing technical and other invaluable assistance for making sure both the English and Russian sub-domains keep operating and can support their growing traffic.  

{{user2|Saggy}}: Saggy is interested in issues with the Qur'an and Hadith, such as [[Scientific Errors in the Quran|Scientific Errors in the Qur'an]]. Creator of the articles [[Scientific Errors in the Hadith]] and [[Lack of Detail in the Quran|Lack of Detail in the Qur'an]]

{{user2|Axius}}: Axius is an atheist humanist from the [[Americas]]. He is also the founder and administrator of WikiIslam. He has about 18,000 edits (approximately 20% of all edits; the 2^nd highest) for various pages, many of them related to maintenance, administration, site interface and help. He is heavily involved in community building and decision making.

{{user2|Sahab}}, [[User:Sahab/List of Works|User's List of Works]]  {{small star}}: Sahab is a former Muslim now agnostic from [[Asia|South Asia]] who joined the wiki in April 2009 and became an administrator in 2011. Although not a Christian himself, his "positive experiences with them have left a lasting impression" and he considers Jesus Christ to be "the height of moral excellence." Politically he is "left-leaning" and responsible for the site's coverage of LGBT issues. He edited heavily for 5 years (from April 2009 to April 2014), accumulating 47,000 edits (50% of all edits) that touched almost every page on the site. He created several hundred original articles, various original media files and templates and many original series that span several hundred more pages. As an administrator, he quality-controlled most of the site's edits (copy-editing, correcting and expanding as necessary), helped with decision-making, guiding newer editors and dealt with many other day-to-day duties. He helped to formulate and write the majority of the site's policies and guidelines and helped shape the general direction of the site. Offsite, he helped promote the wiki and networked with others to import several hundred more pages worth of articles (most of these were also copy-edited, corrected and/or expanded by him). In short, he is the most significant contributor to the site as of August 2014 and basically made WikiIslam into what it is today.

Atheistig: Atheistig is (as the name suggests) an atheist with two university degrees in Science. He has a strong interest in science and history, with the former being his profession and the latter his hobby. His interest in Islam lay within the 6^th-7^th century Syriac and Arabic legends and mythology and how they influenced the author of the Qur'an. Likewise, his contributions were concentrated on legends such as the Alexander Romance, the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus and issues concerning the historicity of Prophet Muhammad.

Al-Qaum: Al-Qaum is a close friend of Sahab's and also a former Muslim from South Asia. He is a devout Christian. He mostly helped with the [[Islam in the News]] section on the front page (which is currently inactive). Other articles he worked on include the [[Persecution]] and media related pages.
