The ' | The '<b>wikisphere</b>' is made up of [[:Category:All|all wiki sites]], and any interconnections between them. {{tag|Wiki}}s can influence, and may be influenced by one another; by borrowing their [[:Category:Wiki Topic|content]], migration or sharing of their [[:Category:Wiki People|active users]], documenting and critiquing their activities, serving as homes for refugees and [[:Category:Users who are globally blocked from Wikia|exiles]] from other [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]], etc. | ||

On a | On a {{Wp|Special:Statistics|vast}} wiki like the [[English Wikipedia]], a virtual community can form around one page, or one [[:Category:Wiki Topic|subject]] they are all interested in; write about, [[edit]], discuss. Like {{Wp|de:Braunschweig|a page about a city}}, [https://Braunschweig.de real communities] form {{Wp|de:Wikipedia:WikiProjekt Braunschweig|virtual communities}} and {{Wp|de:Wikipedia:Braunschweig|vice versa}}. Naturally, a bigger scope of [[wiki]] community are the [[Special:ActiveUsers|active users]] of one wiki site. Beyond that, there are [[:Category:WikiFarm|wiki farms]] like [[:Category:Referata|Referata]], breeding places for initially mostly small wikis where the [[founder]] gets support from the community of the farm, or synergies are established like the [[Volunteer Spam Task Force]] (VSTF) on [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] where the individual wikis are not so individual, rather like offices in a big building, and you need only one [[user]] account to access them all. Others prefer to call one server for the development for many wikis a '[[:Category:odd-wiki-hive|hive]]', like in 'bee hive', which is a charming [[Oxford-Dict:analogy|analogy]] like {{Wp|anthill}} that illustrates the business of folks there, but does not reflect that there is no 'queen'. | ||
The | The wikisphere after all, is the entirety of independent individuals, and their collaborations, which kind of culminates or confluences in this comparatively small wiki where it's [[WikiIndex:Community portal|community]] [[meatball:WhyWikiWorks|endeavours]] to build a dynamic hub for the multi-[[:Category:Wiki Language|language]], international, and increasingly complex wikisphere. | ||
