On September 27th, 2005, Jacob Barton opened a wiki named "xenharmonic (microtonal wiki)" on [[Wikipedia:Wikispaces|Wikispaces]], another wiki hosting service, in order to replace the wiki hosted on Riters.com. The home page presented the wiki as the "Xenharmonic Wiki" only after Jacob's edit on October 27th, 2009.<ref>[https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Home&oldid=17565 Home - Xenharmonic Wiki (Revision as of 17:02, 27 October 2009)]</ref>

Overall, this version of the wiki attracted more editors and gradually grew to become an all-around resource for the microtonal community. Parallel wikis in Spanish and German were also created, and several ~~[[:Category:~~Japanese-language pages~~|Japanese-language pages]]~~ were made, although no separate Japanese wiki was created.

A migration of the previous wiki's content to Wikispaces was planned, but it seems not everything was migrated, as some pages that existed on the Riters.com wiki were never created on Wikispaces.

After several months of effort, the [[Migration FAQ|migration]] was an overall success, with only minor hiccups such as the loss of the Wikispaces user accounts.
