## 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.
