==Each article a wiki?==
What does this mean in a [[wiki]] that each "article" is generally a wiki? [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>
:I would understand it to mean, the main content of this wiki is articles which each describe one wiki.  Perhaps the official wording could be improved?--[[User:69.87.193.65|69.87.193.65]] 04:53, 2 February 2007 (PST)
 
==[[:Category: Terms]]==
Where are namespaces here discussed?  ''"The pages in this wiki are mostly about a wiki, wiki people or wiki things."''  What are the guidelines for adding "wiki thing" articles?  There is an apt "[[:category: Terms]]", but it seems to be [[Special:UnusedCategories|unpopulated]].  It should have articles for [[wp:Wikipedia:No original research|(WP):NOR]] etc.  It seems preferable that such infrastructure expansion not be initiated by newcomers...--[[User:69.87.193.65|69.87.193.65]] 04:53, 2 February 2007 (PST)
:Namespaces are detailed at [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions]].  Any '[[:Category:Categories needing populating|unpopulated]]' [[Special:Categories|categories]] can be tagged with <code>{{Template|PopulateCategory}}</code>.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 09:07, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 
==Don't merge==
''Someone suggested this page be merged into [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki]]. Well? [[WikiIndex talk:Add a Wiki| Discuss?]]
 
This article should not be merged with "Add a Wiki".  That article is already quite complex, as it should be.  This one should point most readers over there, and address here all other aspects: creating articles about [[:Category:Wiki People|people]], [[:Category:Terms|terms]], this wiki, namespaces, [[:Category:Meta|meta]] topics.--[[User:69.87.193.65|69.87.193.65]] 05:04, 2 February 2007 (PST)
 
:I agree with the person above me. Also, these are two completely different topics.[[User:Swordman|Swordman]] 14:36, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
::And I also agree.  [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki]] is purely for adding a <u>wiki</u> article, and is pre-loaded with the [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]].  This particular page gives more generic advice on how to create an article on ''any'' wiki subject, such as a [[:Category:Wiki idea|wiki idea]], etc.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 09:07, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
