## Configure a default branch for your wiki
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/221159) in GitLab 14.1.
The default branch for your wiki repository depends on your version of GitLab:
- *GitLab versions 14.1 and later:* Wikis inherit the
[default branch name](../repository/branches/default.md) configured for
your instance or group. If no custom value is configured, GitLab uses `main`.
- *GitLab versions 14.0 and earlier:* GitLab uses `master`.
For any version of GitLab, you can
[rename this default branch](../repository/branches/default.md#update-the-default-branch-name-in-your-repository)
for previously created wikis.
## Create the wiki home page
When a wiki is created, it is empty. On your first visit, create the landing page
