WikiApiary is more about , WikiIndex is more about text and background . . .  I've considered adding some timeline features to WikiApiary so that users and more importantly bots could start to build a history for a wiki.  I had considered supporting non-MediaWiki wikis at one point, but no other wikis have such robust API's and now WikiApiary is so entrenched in the MediaWiki ecosystem I have little interest in trying to support others.  Skin:Main Page and Extension:Main Page would be less useful if it were generic.  For MediaWiki sites on WikiIndex it would be really cool to be able to feed a live infobox from WikiApiary with data on usage.  Some sort of Widget or something. . .'"
