:WikiIndex.com was created by [[Raymond King|Ray King]] and [[John Stanton]] in June [[:Category: | :WikiIndex.com was created by [[Raymond King|Ray King]] and [[John Stanton]] in June [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]] as a way to track the wiki sites they thought had value for them. At the [[WikiSym]] conference in San Diego in October 2005 Ray and John joined forces with [[Mark Dilley]] who had a much more comprehensive wiki list called [[SwitchWiki]] and took the decision to join the two efforts together. The resulting wiki was to be more comprehensive and take full advantage of wiki technology. John converted and expanded the data from both sites and built out the original set of 1000 wikis in January of 2006. Throughout 2006 a community formed around WikiIndex and greatly expanded the number of wikis and improved the original format. By November 2006 the article count was at 3,195 and WikiIndex had become the authoritative source for information about Wiki sites. | ||

I tried to use #expr in the Sandbox-Page ([https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex:Sandbox&oldid=36868 Permalink]), but it did nothing but errors. How can we get it to function?

Hi again John, do you control the rewrite rules for the Wikiindex-URLs? Maybe there is something broken (or in LocalSettings.php?). I know several Wikis that accept such page names. I need it fur UTC-Distance categorization. I would be happy if that could be brought to work. Thanks in advance --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 12:14, 6 October 2007 (EDT) | Hi again John, do you control the rewrite rules for the Wikiindex-URLs?

::This is a continuing problem with the pretty URL code in .htaccess, almost every mediawiki revision introduces some new problem with pretty url code. It takes a lot of study and trial and error on my part to debug the rewrite code because I am not very good at it :-) I'll get on it next week, any help much appreciated!

There were problems here, some were genuine mistakes I made but I could have explained other problems that [[MarkDilley]] had with me. I was given a chance to explain but frankly I decided that I have too many administrative duties on too many wikis. Mark Dilley would never have full confidence in me again and I would never have full confidence in the absentee owner either. Therefore I decided to stay on wikis where the others trust me and not to spend several hours explaining controversial actions that I’d done and that Mark Dilley would have probably understood if he spent more time here.
