 : yeah, that's difficult to deal with.  Our current plan is to measure one thing at a time and right now it is just "added characters".  "Deleted Characters" and other measurements to come when we have reasonable algorithms to calculate them. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Ray King|talk]]</small> 10:01, 19 August 2006 (EDT)

 I think that a server change is already "complicated" enough for this wiki and its users. I do not think it should be made more complex or complicated by opening the discussion about the new name at the same time. I prefer to get a new name ending on .wiki, but I would not like to complicate the situation, because from my experience with this wiki and its community, this will most likely lead to one of those so called "endless discussions". If one would like to get anything done, one has to keep it as simple as possible in order to get any kind of result within a reasonable time here. Therefore I request You to "keep it simple". Please also take into consideration, that a change of name inevitably rises  a new-logo debate which obviously would become even more emotional than a "simple" name discussion! I would strongly prefer to avoid such a three-tire discussion right now (move-name-logo). Move is complex enough, really. It includes extensions and backup and cleaning the user list. The later is already very difficult to solve. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 16:13, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

 Hello, may I ask why, except of you, the Wiki.Wiki staff (along with BrandonCSSanders and Jason) are not active anymore? I see that for now you don't allow the creation of new wikis there, but will they be available in the future?

+=== Some questions for you ===
+Hello Ray! I have some questions for you:
+- what's your official account? [[User:Rathbone|Rathbone]] or [[User:Ray King|Ray King]]? I noticed that they are both in the staff group. <br>
+- what happened with [[Wiki.Wiki]]? Why was it closed? <br>
+- did Wiki.Wiki staff members like [[User:BrandonCsSanders|Brandon]] and [[User:Jason|Jason]] leave also [[WikiIndex]]? <br>

+I've pretty much been using Rathbone.  We had to close wiki.wiki as it was a lot of work and we didn't have a clear path to sustainability.  I don't think those guys are active on WikiIndex.  [[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 12:07, 3 January 2018 (PST)
+: Itallyano won't get Your answer. That account was blocked indefinitely in 15 December 2017 because it was a sock-puppet of the blocked account [[User:TheTVFan]] etc. --[[User talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 15:36, 3 January 2018 (PST)

+==[[Special:AbuseFilter/12|Abuse filter 12]] blocking sign-up for [[Special:Contributions/Jordan_D|Jordan D]]==
+Hi Ray, hope you are well.
+I have been looking through the [[Special:AbuseLog|Abuse filter log]] and noticed a trigger alert of 25 August 2018 disallowing the creation of a [[username]] (and therefore account) by [[Special:Contributions/Jordan_D|Jordan D]] that contained the word 'Jordan'.  Knowing that is an acceptable christian name / given name and/or surname, I amended [[Special:AbuseFilter/12|Abuse filter 12]] to effectively allow 'Jordan' to create an account contaning said username.  Further down the abuse filter log, I also noticed that both Mark Dilley and yourself tried to manually create a user account for the same Jordan D on 15 July 2018, but without success.  Now that I have amended offending abuse filter, if either yourself or Mark still have contact details for Jordan D, maybe you (or Ray) can try again to create his account.
+I shall copy the above to [[User talk:MarkDilley]], just in case Mark has more time or still has the contact details of Jordan D.  Miss your input here, hope you can find time to actively return.  All the best.  [[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> 07:12, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
+== Domain redirection from WikiIndex.com to .org ==
+Hi, Ray! Many old Fandom (Wikia) sites still have [[wikiindex:]] interwiki link set to http://wikiindex.com/$1. For examples, see [https://cities.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo cities.fandom] (a.k.a. [[Cities Wiki]]), [https://list.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo list.fandom] ([[WikiLists]]) and the ''Star Trek'' wiki, [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/api.php?siprop=interwikimap&action=query&meta=siteinfo memory-alpha.fandom] ([[Memory Alpha]]).
+<u>The problem is, https://wikiindex.com/aaaa or any URL to dot-com with any subpage just redirects to the homepage (https://wikiindex.org). Thoughts on fixing how that domain redirection is set up?</u> Cooperating with Fandom doesn't really work since they're generally hostile to linking to outside wikis, so the ball is on our court to take advantage of already existing interwikis from a simpler time. —[[User:AStranger195|AStranger195]] ([[User talk:AStranger195|talk]]) 11:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
