==Wiki farm section?==
Perhaps we should put a "Wiki farm" section in here, too. Thoughts? --[[User talk:Rock-O-Jello|<font color="green">Queen Princess Vizier Countess Jello</font>]] 10:24, 8 March 2017 (PST)
:Agreed. There are a lot of data that we can and should integrate. E.g. There is no reason for [[Template:Size]] to be a separate template. Additionally, we need to obscure fields which have no content, so it doesn't look like the wiki is somehow deficient nor that we are somehow ignorant of what is there (although both of those things ''could'' be true, of course).

How about an ontolgy of this metadata - expressed in RDF it could be harvested from the wikis so people don't always have to update the pages at WikiIndex?

In [[MediaWiki]] it could be expored [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/query.php?what=info this way] but also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDFa RDFa] is possible. -- [[User:Nichtich|Nichtich]] 09:31, 22 August 2006 (EDT)
 
== link to about instead of RC? ==
 
...wouldn't a link to an about page and an author page be ''WAY'' more handier than a recent changes? --[[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 18:41, 26 August 2006 (EDT)
 
actually no, a link to RecentChanges shows someone immediately what is happening at the wiki. [[MarkDilley]]
 
== boilerplate ==
Hi Smiddle.  Great idea to have the boilerplate info closer at hand when looking at this template. I linked to our actual boilerplate as an alternative to what you did so that way things will always be up to date (no duplication that can become unsynchronized). [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 18:08, 28 August 2006 (EDT)
: Seems I manged to figure out how to include the boilerplate here afterall. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:24, 2 October 2006 (EDT)
 
== if template ==
I notice since the '''if''' template was added, there are extra blank lines between the link to the site, the link to RC and the link to the WikiNode.  Can we take those blanklines out? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:24, 2 October 2006 (EDT)
 
Also, now that I think about this more, the entry for "No RecentChanges" or "No WikiNode" can serve as an encouragement for readers of this site to become editors, or editors at those other wikis to create wikinodes.  I think that's important.  Maybe if a site actually doesn't have a recentchanges page or has choosen to opt-out of the WikiNodes network explicitly (could be explained in comments on their page here), then eliminating those entries in their structured data here makes sense.  Otherwise, I think it's still good to show "No WikiNode" and "No RecentChanges."

:I edited it so that it says "No WikiNode/RecentChanges" instead of just blank. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 11:34, 2 October 2006 (EDT)
 
Great - thanks! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:49, 2 October 2006 (EDT)
 
Now it says [No WikiNode], with squared parentheses, which looks weird. That's kinda why I created the template, to make it with round parentheses. Just an opinion. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 09:46, 3 October 2006 (EDT)
 
== Author and about pages? ==
 
I know not all wikis have namespaces, but I'm sure most would have articles about the wiki and their author. Agree? &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 14:58, 16 October 2006 (EDT)
:I agree, it could be the same kind of thing as RecentChanges and WikiNode, where it is optional [[User:Minun|Minun]] 15:13, 16 October 2006 (EDT)
::Hope the admins agree, too. &ndash; [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:Smiddle|T]]&middot;[[Special:Contributions/Smiddle|C]]&middot;[[Special:Search/Smiddle|S]]&middot;[[Special:Allpages/Smiddle|A]]</small> 15:40, 16 October 2006 (EDT)
Here's one person's opinion (not meant to lay down the law): adding a field to the structured data is a real pain in the rear. Wikis without that field end up with a broken entry and then there's a whole lot of data entry to fix everything up. See the Size issue for one way around the problem, making a new template that itself is optional. If you know something I don't about how templates work and can add the fields without breaking all of the entries that don't have those fields, then I'd say go for it. Otherwise, maybe just put links to that info in the body text for the wikis you most care about and see if it catches on as a concept.

Smiddle, can you tell me what [http://wikiindex.com/index.php?title=Template%3AWiki&diff=32303&oldid=32019 this edit] does?  Thanks! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 17:56, 16 October 2006 (EDT)
:If you don't want the link to show as the page name. Example: The page's name is "A", but you want to show the link as "B". then, you enter "|wiki_name=B". [[User:85.30.155.6|85.30.155.6]] 09:53, 17 October 2006 (EDT)

== wiki_size ==
 
If we add a new named (optinal) parameter to the wiki template, we can display a readable default text '''and''' can easyly detect size-uncategorized wikis. See my [[Template:Wiki/suggestion|Wiki/suggestion]] --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 18:43, 18 October 2006 (EDT)
 
: Sure wish we'd known this trick about a year ago! I say go for it and make the /suggestion version live.  I updated it to include all the fields as optional, the way you have Size.  Very good! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 19:11, 18 October 2006 (EDT)
 
: By the way, what about the link to that wiki's statistics.  What are you going to do with that? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 19:12, 18 October 2006 (EDT)
 
:: I think with the other criteria, it will be the same trick, maybe the old pages than need to be purged (<tt>sidename?action=purge</tt>), that depends on the MediaWiki version and could be done using [[Wikipedia:Wget]] . have a good day. --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 01:05, 19 October 2006 (EDT)
 
: Sorry, not sure what you're saying here.  What I'm saying is that the Size template has not only the link to the size category, but also a link to the place on that wiki where the statistics can be found.  If we get rid of the size template, where will we put the link to the statistics?  Also, please remember that the whole world isn't running MediaWiki.  There are lots and lots and lots of other engines, and we want to make sure they get fair treatment here at WikiIndex.

:: ...oh, yes I'm working on it, my first reaction was too quick. Now I'm studying on MediaWiki-Templates on a localhost XAMMP installation, templates are so hard to understand <br/><nowiki>{{{ {{{ {{ |know |what ||I |mean }} }}} }}} </nowiki> - but I think it could be done in a generic way. The problem is now that given weblink-parameters do not concern to categories, right? --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 14:57, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

Wiki farm section?[edit]

Perhaps we should put a "Wiki farm" section in here, too. Thoughts? --Queen Princess Vizier Countess Jello 10:24, 8 March 2017 (PST)

Agreed. There are a lot of data that we can and should integrate. E.g. There is no reason for Template:Size to be a separate template. Additionally, we need to obscure fields which have no content, so it doesn't look like the wiki is somehow deficient nor that we are somehow ignorant of what is there (although both of those things could be true, of course).
