A Wiki fairy (or WikiFairy), also Wiki faerie (or WikiFaerie), is the slang term for a wiki editor who beautifies Wikipedia by organizing messy articles, improving style, or adding color and graphics. Some WikiFairies create new articles or affect the substantive content of the articles they edit; others do not.

WikiFairies are considered essentially friendly creatures, like WikiGnomes and unlike WikiTrolls.

The list of Wikipedians who consider themselves WikiFairies is located here.

If you want, you can advertise your WikiFairy qualities on your user page by adding this user box {{User wikipedia/WikiFairy}}. If you prefer not to use userboxes, you can also simply list your user page in the WikiFairy category without a userbox by placing the following tag at the bottom of your page:
