2012年6月，Top Level Design向ICANN提交.wiki頂級域名的建議書<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1457|title=New Generic Top-Level Domains: Application ID: 1-1086-78534|publisher=[[ICANN]]|accessdate=2014-10-21|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304034427/https://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1457|dead-url=no}}</ref>。2013年11月7日，[[ICANN]]和Top Level Design達成「註冊協定」，正式認可該公司為.wiki的註冊局<ref name=WRA>{{cite web|title=.wiki Registry Agreement|url=https://www.icann.org/resources/agreement/wiki-2013-11-07-en|publisher=ICANN|accessdate=2014-10-03|date=2013-11-07|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141012131851/https://www.icann.org/resources/agreement/wiki-2013-11-07-en|archivedate=2014-10-12}}</ref>。之後，Top Level Design行政總裁{{le|雷·金 (創業家)|Ray King (entrepreneur)|雷·金}}指很多「在域名行業的人告訴我.wiki有潛成成為一個成功的頂級域名」；「所以，當我到craftbeer.wiki時，我期望那裡有一群熱情的人討論所有有關釀製碑酒的事情。但在craftbeer.com或craftbeer.guru時你可能只會看到一個網上商店、網誌、一個酒莊的導賞或其他東西。」<ref name=Levine>{{cite web|last1=Levine|first1=Barry|title=Google Enters Domain Market|url=http://www.cmswire.com/cms/digital-marketing/google-enters-domain-market-025838.php|publisher=CMSWire|accessdate=2014-10-03|date=2014-07-10|archive-date=2018-01-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180113050627/https://www.cmswire.com/cms/digital-marketing/google-enters-domain-market-025838.php|dead-url=no}}</ref>

2014年1月，.wiki被ClickZ列於「2014年十大應留意的頂級域名」之中，原因為具有「為各大小公司提供安全和共用的工作空間」<ref name=Wolfe>{{cite web|last1=Wolfe|first1=Jennifer|title=Top 10 gTLDs to Watch in 2014|url=http://www.clickz.com/clickz/column/2321262/top-10-gtlds-to-watch-in-2014|publisher=ClickZ|accessdate=2014-10-06|archive-date=2014-10-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141014112206/http://www.clickz.com/clickz/column/2321262/top-10-gtlds-to-watch-in-2014|dead-url=no}}</ref>。2014年2月19日該域名被提至{{le|DNS根區|DNS root zone}}<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings|title=Delegated Strings|publisher=ICANN|accessdate=2014-10-21|archive-date=2019-09-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190926055016/http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings|dead-url=yes}}</ref>。至2014年3月中，Top Level Design已經與多達120家[[域名註冊商]]簽署協議，讓他們出售.wiki域名<ref name=Apple>{{cite web|last1=Berkens|first1=Michael|title=Apple, Weather Channel, Ericsson, Hallmark, Chanel: Brands Are Getting Their .Wiki|url=http://www.thedomains.com/2014/03/11/apple-weather-channel-ericsson-hallmark-chanel-brands-are-getting-their-wiki/|publisher=The Domains|accessdate=2014-10-06|date=2014-03-11|archive-date=2014-10-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141013005858/http://www.thedomains.com/2014/03/11/apple-weather-channel-ericsson-hallmark-chanel-brands-are-getting-their-wiki/|dead-url=no}}</ref>。2014年5月，[[維基媒體基金會]]宣佈它將會使用「w.wiki」為它的[[縮略網址服務|縮略網址]]<ref name=Wikipedia>{{cite web|last1=Murphy|first1=Kevin|title=Wikipedia to get single-letter .wiki domain|url=http://domainincite.com/16590-wikipedia-to-get-single-letter-wiki-domain|publisher=DomainIncite|accessdate=2014-10-06|date=2014-05-05|archive-date=2014-10-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141013194853/http://domainincite.com/16590-wikipedia-to-get-single-letter-wiki-domain|dead-url=no}}</ref>。該基金會亦支持Top Level Design向ICANN的建議，取消對179個兩個字元.wiki域名中註冊[[二級域]]的限制<ref>{{cite web|title=ICANN Registry Request Service: 2 Character Domains for .wiki|url=https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registries/rsep/top-level-design-llc-request-11mar14-en.pdf|publisher=ICANN|accessdate=2014-10-06|year=2014|format=PDF}}</ref><ref name=Three>{{cite web|last1=Allemann|first1=Andrew|title=3 new domain registries ask ICANN for two character domain names|url=http://domainnamewire.com/2014/04/29/3-new-domain-registries-ask-icann-for-two-character-domain-names/|publisher=Domain Name Wire|accessdate=2014-10-06|date=2014-04-29|archive-date=2014-10-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006034501/http://domainnamewire.com/2014/04/29/3-new-domain-registries-ask-icann-for-two-character-domain-names/|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref name=Collaborate>{{cite web|last1=Allemann|first1=Andrew|title=Let’s collaborate on .wiki: A look at who registered .wiki domains|url=http://domainnamewire.com/2014/05/28/dot-wiki/#sthash.oT3fOxMT.dpbs|publisher=Domain Name Wire|accessdate=2014-10-06|date=2014-05-28|archive-date=2018-08-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180823105711/https://domainnamewire.com/2014/05/28/dot-wiki/#sthash.oT3fOxMT.dpbs|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

在.wiki開放註冊的同時，Top Level Design及[[YouGov]]發表報告，指在英國和美國有近一半的消費者希望與他們最喜歡的品牌於網上合作<ref name=Haggerty/>，以及於英國另外有近一半的消費者希望可以與品牌的未來產品上合作<ref name=Jenkins>{{cite web|last1=Jenkins|first1=Huw|script-title=en:Half of British consumers feel they can’t interact with favourite brands online|url=http://www.dotrising.com/2014/05/09/half-of-british-consumers-feel-they-cant-interact-with-favourite-brands-online/|publisher=dotRising|accessdate=2014-10-03|date=2014-05-09|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141013114104/http://www.dotrising.com/2014/05/09/half-of-british-consumers-feel-they-cant-interact-with-favourite-brands-online/|archivedate=2014-10-13}}</ref>。最後，該報告提出近四分之一的英國和美國的消費者指如果可以「改變一個他們熱情的機構、品牌、服務或社群」，他們會願意為一個有品牌的wiki作出貢獻<ref name=Haggerty/><ref name=Mehta>{{Cite journal|url=http://fortune.com/2014/05/13/a-report-say-wal-mart-isnt-very-collaborative-is-that-so-bad/|title=A report say Wal-Mart isn't very "collaborative."
