This ''' | This '''Founded in YYYY''' [[Special:Categories|category]] here on WikiIndex is for those [[wiki]] sites (along with [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engines]] and [[wiki farm]]s) which we are {{tag|Unknown|unable}} to determine their {{tag|Wiki age|foundation date}}, or have not yet checked said [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]] to establish their year of foundation. | ||
;To determine the age of a wiki: | |||
*The [[founder]] of a wiki probably knows its age; | |||
[[Category: | *If they are running [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software, there are three ways: | ||
[[Category: | **Go to the 'Oldest pages' at <tt>/Special:AncientPages</tt> for the wiki and look at the date of the first article (note that it lists pages that haven't been ''edited'' in a long time, not the oldest pages overall); | ||
**Go check the date for 'MediaWiki default' at <tt>/Special:Contributions/MediaWiki_default</tt> made its first contribution; | |||
**View history for a system message (as found in the 'MediaWiki' [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespace]] – search in [[Special:PrefixIndex]]), and check when MediaWiki default first edited it; | |||
*For [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] wikis, the exact date of founding used to be available at <tt>/Special:WikiStats</tt> – this [[:Category:Wiki syntax|feature]] is now defunct, so follow the above MediaWiki advice; | |||
**Wikia 'MediaWiki default' is found at <tt>/Special:Contributions/Default</tt>. | |||
