Talk:Mirror

Should we have articles about mirrors? Leucosticte (talk) 04:10, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure Why wouldn't we? Koavf (talk) 06:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Because there are so many sites that use Wikipedia content, for instance, that aren't wikis. Leucosticte (talk) 06:52, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Solution Make List of Wikipedia mirrors. Even though this site is ostensibly about all wikis and topics related to wikis, it probably would be a wasted effort to list every single site that scrapes data for Wikipedia. But there's not a problem with talking about mirrors. Either way, I don't know of any articles here on mirrors. Do you? Koavf (talk) 06:58, 8 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I support the idea to list mirrors and to write help-text about how that works, not only tregarding those which mirror wikipedia. I imagine this wikis purpose to be also educative about all matters related to wiki. If it helps to create more understanding amongst wiki-readers when and how they are looking not in but at a mirror, it would be a good thing. Possibly there should be a separate chapter for mirrors like for WikiEngines, wiki hosting and WikiFarms. We got also a bit about archives that could be more detailed and comprehensive. Basically an archive is a mirror even for dead wikis ;-) It is a good thing to list a mirror, as long as it is clear, that it is a mirror and not an actual wiki. It may be going too far to make chapter for mirroring-engines unless they are very specific for wiki. There I would draw the line. Manorainjan (talk) 13:23, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

'' Mirror, mirror on the wall which is the greatest wiki of them all? '' Sorry, couldn't resist! Back to reality, whilst this article deals primarily with re-hosting, nothing is off topic. Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • Admin / 'Crat • talk2HH 13:49, 20 January 2018 (PST)
