'''WikiApiary''' is a [[wiki]] that collects, displays and analyzes information about the usage and performance of {{tag|MediaWiki}} websites; its main focus is to examine other MediaWiki sites to see what [[mw:Extension:Contents|extensions]] they run, and how they operate.  Naturally, WikiApiary itself runs on MediaWiki, and also uses the {{tag|Semantic MediaWiki}} (SMW) plugin.

;''Differences between WikiApiary and WikiIndex
{{U|Thingles}} [https://wikiapiary.com/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AMarkAHershberger&diff=402099&oldid=401392 wrote] on 17 November 2013:
<blockquote>". . . I think [[WikiIndex]] and WikiApiary are very different.  Notably, WikiApiary is only about the MediaWiki-verse, where WikiIndex is about the entire [[Wikiverse]].  WikiApiary is more about {{tag|data}}, WikiIndex is more about text and background . . .  I've considered adding some timeline features to WikiApiary so that [[user]]s and more importantly bots could start to build a history for a wiki.  I had considered supporting non-MediaWiki wikis at one point, but no other wikis have such robust API's and now WikiApiary is so entrenched in the MediaWiki ecosystem I have little interest in trying to support others.  [[WikiApiary:Skin:Skins|Skin:Main Page]] and [[WikiApiary:Extension:Extensions|Extension:Main Page]] would be less useful if it were generic.  For MediaWiki sites on WikiIndex it would be really cool to be able to feed a live infobox from WikiApiary with data on usage.  Some sort of Widget or something. . ."</blockquote>
