NuWiki was a commercial vBulletin software plugin developed by NuHit, LLC, and created by the nuhit.com user ElfMage and sold for $45.00. It was published April 14, 2007, at nuhit.com, and was abandoned on or about December 16, 2007.

NuWiki was designed as a native plugin for vBulletin, adding the ability to treat forum threads as wiki content, achieving closer integration with the existing forums than running separate software like MediaWiki.

NuWiki introduced features like using BB-Code syntax to write wiki pages, automatic linking to wiki pages, AJAX previews of wiki pages when hovering over automatic links, and the ability to organize wiki pages into books.

NuHit gifted Cracked Egg Studios a free copy of NuWiki as a reward for its contributions to the ecosystem of vBWiki Pro, another offering by the company. In turn, Cracked Egg Studios performed product testing and offered various suggestions to improve NuWiki. Cracked Egg Studios began migrating its vBWiki Pro installation to NuWiki on one of the days April 17-19, 2007.

Cracked Egg Studios developed a number of plugins specifically designed for the NuWiki ecosystem:
Cracked Egg Studios continued to develop these add-ons after ElfMage's abandonment, leading NuHit customers to request that Cracked Egg Studios take over NuWiki development or create a competing product. After several months, Cracked Egg Studios acquiesced and updated their add-on CES NuWiki Special Pages to function as a competing product CES VaultWiki.
