I've updated to OpenClaw 2026.4.7 (5050017) and openclaw wiki init yields error: unknown command 'wiki'

Yep — that error is expected. wiki is not a valid OpenClaw CLI command in current releases (including 2026.4.7), so openclaw wiki init will fail with unknown command 'wiki'.

Use one of these instead:

  • openclaw onboard → full guided setup
  • openclaw setup → initialize config/workspace directly

Docs:

If you found openclaw wiki init in a doc or post, paste the link here — it’s likely stale and should be corrected.

Ahh yep, great catch — that page is ahead of what’s actually shipped in 2026.4.7.

openclaw wiki ... is documented there, but the command is not in the current stable CLI, so unknown command 'wiki' is expected right now.

Quick sanity checks on your side:

openclaw help | grep -i wiki
openclaw plugins list | grep -i memory-wiki

You should see no wiki command/plugin yet in stable.

So for now, use the regular memory flow (openclaw memory ...) and treat that memory-wiki page as unreleased/stale docs content for the moment.

If you want, I can give you the closest current commands for what you were trying to do with wiki init.

Totally fair question — the release notes are correct, but there’s a gotcha:

memory-wiki shipped in 2026.4.7 as a bundled plugin, and bundled plugins are generally disabled by default until enabled.

So openclaw wiki ... can show as unknown until the plugin is active.

Try:

openclaw plugins list | grep memory-wiki
openclaw plugins enable memory-wiki
openclaw wiki status
openclaw wiki init

Reference: bundled plugins start disabled in docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/plugins

#

If memory-wiki doesn’t appear in plugins list, then your install is likely incomplete/mismatched and we can debug that next.

sand echo
# 
user@host ~ % openclaw help | grep -i wiki
user@host ~ % openclaw plugins list | grep -i memory-wiki
│ Memory Wiki  │ memory-  │ openclaw │ disabled │ stock:memory-wiki/index.js                                │ 2026.4.7 │
#

Alrighty, that makes sense I think, let's give it a try

Perfect 👍 If it still throws unknown command 'wiki', paste these two outputs and I’ll pinpoint it fast:

openclaw plugins list | grep -i memory-wiki
openclaw wiki status
sand echo
#

Wouldn't it be a good idea to update step 2 in the "Recommended workflow" section at the bottom to include the terminal command openclaw plugins enable memory-wiki? How can I suggest this?

100% yes — that’s a solid docs improvement.

Best way to suggest it: open a GitHub issue in the main repo:
https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/new/choose

You can paste this:

Title
Docs: memory-wiki recommended workflow should include "openclaw plugins enable memory-wiki"

Body

  • Page: https://docs.openclaw.ai/plugins/memory-wiki
  • Problem: openclaw wiki ... commands are shown, but users may get unknown command 'wiki' unless memory-wiki is enabled first.
  • Suggested change: In “Recommended workflow” step 2, add:
openclaw plugins enable memory-wiki
