== FAQs == | ==FAQs== | ||
===Is this move to another server, another farm, or also another domain?=== | |||
The move is to a new server on a different MediaWiki hosting platform. A different domain (e.g., index.wiki) can be adopted after the move if desired but the domain will remain unchanged during the move. (See [[WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change]]). | |||
The MediaWiki hosting platform we are moving to is owned by Top Level Design. Top Level Design is [[Ray King]]'s company, and is the [[.wiki]] registry operator. | |||
===How does it relate to Wiki.Wiki?=== | |||
Top Level Design is hosting some friendly wikis on their [[:Category:Wiki.Wiki|Wiki.Wiki]] farm for free. The Wiki.Wiki site is just the landing page for the hosting platform (i.e., [[wiki farm]]). There is no reason why Wiki.Wiki would be visible to any visitors to WikiIndex. | |||
*Can I see an example? | |||
See http://IcannWiki.com for an example of a friendly wiki that has been moved to the Wiki.Wiki hosting platform. Notice that there are no references to the fact that it is hosted on the Wiki.Wiki farm anywhere on [[ICANNWiki]]. | |||
===Can we move to Index.Wiki or another domain name?=== | |||
Yes, after the move is complete. See [[WikiIndex:Proposal: domain name change]] for that discussion. | |||
=== Can we move to Index.Wiki or another domain name? === | |||
Yes | |||
