The "root category" of this WikiIndex wiki is Category:Browse. This Wiki Lists category is a direct child, or subcategory of Browse, and it contains different ways of listing wikis. If and when this category is cleaned up, it will only contain categories that explain a system for listing wikis (these should probably in turn contain categories that are actually applied to wikis.

Here are subcategories that are correctly placed here:

  • For Browsing:
    • Category:All — the least picky category of all – every single wiki that's not "Category:Inactive".
    • Category:Wiki Age — this contains categories for the founding date of the wiki, like "Category:FoundedIn2005", and so on.
    • Category:Wiki Edit Mode — this contains categories describing who is allowed to edit the wiki.
    • Category:Wiki Engine — wikis run on wiki software, and there are many different types of wiki software – this is for categorizing them that way.
    • Category:Wiki Language — this contains categories describing the primary language in which the wiki is written in (and not its subject matter).
    • Category:Wiki Status — this contains labels for "how the wiki's community is fairing".
    • Category:Wiki Topic — wikis have content, remember? – what topic(s) or subject matter does the content fall under? – (this category has hundreds of subcategories that probably need to be turned into their own tree.)
    • Category:Wiki License — lists the specific license or licenses under which the content of the wiki is released.
    • Category:Wiki Location — categories for describing a wiki's connection to geographic places.
    • Category:Wiki Size — how many articles does the wiki have? – categories like LessThan10, MoreThan10, MoreThan20, and MoreThan50, etc, right up to those wikis with a million pages or more.
    • Category:wikiFactor — describes the impact or importance of a wiki.
    • Category:Wiki Backups — lists those wikis which have been 'backed up', with the URL of said backup file.
  • For Editing:
    • Category:Unknown — wikis are included in this when their page needs to be added to particular kinds of Unknown categories in the above Browsing categories.
    • Category:Wikis to add — for wikis that have a 'skeleton' page here at WikiIndex, but need the Wiki template added, or have the template, but the information hasn't been filled in yet. Make pages with nothing but the URL for a wiki... and add {{add}}, or use the new wiki form on Community Portal so that the wiki's page will show up here.

WikiProject:Wikis to Add lists a collection of raw wiki URLs. Please help us move each one to its own page here using Add it to WikiIndex!. That should automatically put the wiki in the "All" category. Thank you.
