: Trying to clarify that because this site uses structured data, some things are done a little differently than other wiki. ([[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], [[MeatballWiki]], etc).  I think Structured Data is  new to the [[wiki]] family, it is to me, so being clear about it will help.

StructuredData means that there is [[:Category:Data|data]] that is structured.  In this wiki, we use {{Template|Wiki}} (or something) on almost every single page. This is structured. We are not asking people to come here and make the page for their wiki any way they want to.  We are requiring structure. [[MarkDilley]] | <small>[[User talk:MarkDilley|talk]]</small>

Hi, I just added my wikisite [[Debatrix]], and now that I have a little time I was wanting to add the [[WikiIndex:StructuredData|structured data]] to its page on this wiki, but I am a relative noob at this and do not understand what some of the entries are, or how to add them. Could someone point me to some detailed instructions? --[[User:Jake4d|jake4d]] 21:40, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

: Hi. I hope that people who start new wiki are eventually funneled to the [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki]] page. Was that page easy for you to find? If not, what could we do to help?

==Licence added to structured data without any information==
==Licence added to structured data without any information==
Someone has altered the structured data so that a [[:Category:Wiki License|licence]] line is included. I actually agree that is a good thing, but there are no instructions on what options there are. That effectively means it is a bit useless.

Also, there are older pages that don't have the licence line. Can someone create a robot that adds the line, as well as something that links pages into some sort of category that people can use to see what wikis need licence information added?

: OK, two out of your three suggestions have now been implemented:
: OK, two out of your three suggestions have now been implemented:
: ''what options'' Done. For each item on the left side of the template, you can now click the item (perhaps in preview mode) and get a list of most of the options. In this case, clicking on the words "Wiki License" takes you to [[:Category:Wiki License]] which lists about a dozen licenses -- about a dozen options.

: ''category that people can use to see what wikis need licence information added?'' Done. at [[:Category:Wiki YourWiki'sLicense]], which (I hope) lists every wiki that still needs license information added.
