{{TOC right}}'''Category: Wiki lists''' — the 'root category', 'top category', or 'parent category' of this {{tag|WikiIndex}} wiki site is [[:category: Browse]].  This '''wiki lists category''' is a direct child, or sub-[[Special:Categories|category]] of {{tag|Browse}}, and it contains <u>different ways of {{tag|Lists|listing}} wiki sites here on WikiIndex</u>.  If and when this [[category]] is cleaned up, it will only contain [[categories]] that explain a system for [[:Category:All|listing all wiki sites]] (these should probably in turn contain categories that are actually applied to [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]].


This will continue until she is removed from this project
Here are first tier, primary sub-categories that are correctly placed here.
.
 
===For browsing===
====''Automatically included''====
=====From [[Template: Wiki]]=====
The following categories (and / or their appropriate sub-categories) are all automatically included, or 'populated' via the default [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]], and its appropriate fields.
*'''[[:Category: All]]''' — the least picky category of all; every single wiki site [[article]] that is listed here on [[WikiIndex]];
*'''[[:Category: Wiki status]]''' — this contains descriptive labels for 'how the wiki's community is fairing', primarily based on number of edits during any 24 hour period;
*'''[[:Category: Wiki language]]''' — this contains categories describing the primary language in which the wiki content is <u>written</u> in (and ''not'' its subject matter);
*'''[[:Category: Wiki Edit Mode]]''' — this contains categories describing who is allowed to edit the wiki, and under what circumstances and / or limitations;
*'''[[:Category: Wiki engine]]''' — wikis run on wiki software, known as a 'wiki engine'; and there are many different types of wiki software, this is for categorizing them that way;
*'''[[:Category: Wiki license]]''' — lists the specific license or licenses under which the content of the wiki is released for re-use (if any);
*'''[[:Category: Wiki Topic]]''' — wikis have ''content'', remember? – what topic(s) or subject matter does the content fall under? – (this category has hundreds of sub-categories that probably need to be turned into their own tree.);
*'''[[:Category: Wiki database backup]]''' — lists those wiki sites which have been 'backed up', with the URL of said backup file or database 'dump'.
=====From [[Template: Size]]=====
The two following categories (and / or their appropriate sub-categories) are all automatically included, or 'populated' via the default [[Template:Size|size stats box template]].
*'''[[:Category: Wiki Size]]''' — how many actual article pages does the wiki site have? – categories right up to those wiki sites with tens of millions of pages or more;
*'''[[:Category: wikiFactor]]''' — describes the impact or importance of a wiki site measured from individual page views, based on an established scientific formula.
 
====''Manually entered''====
The following categories (or specific sub-categories) require manual entry, typically via our {{Template|tag}} template within the prose description, or via the conventional MediaWiki method of adding categories at the bottom of the [[edit box]].
*'''[[:Category: Wiki location]]''' — categories for describing a wiki's connection to geographic places;
*'''[[:Category: Wiki age]]''' — this contains categories for the founding year of individual wiki site, like '[[:category: Founded in 1995]]', and so on;
*'''[[:Category: Wiki people]]''' — wiki sites are nothing without the people who [[edit]] them; it is real people who create new articles, edit existing articles, verify and fact-check [[citation]]s, and generally keep wikis alive; view articles of important people in the [[Wikisphere|wiki world]].
 
===For editing, and further action by the WikiIndex community===
*'''[[:Category: Unknown]]''' — wiki sites are included in this (or its sub-categories) when their article page needs to be added to particular kinds of Unknown categories (or sub-categories) in the above Browsing categories;
*'''[[:Category: Wikis to add]]''' — for wiki sites that have a 'skeleton' article page here at WikiIndex, but need the [[Template:Wiki|Wiki infobox template]] added, or have the infobox template, but all of the required information has not been filled in yet.  Create pages with nothing but the URL for a wiki... and add <code>{{Template|add}}</code>, or use the [[Form:Wiki|new wiki form]] (also found on our [[WikiIndex:Community portal|community portal]]) so that the wiki's page will show up here.
 
[[WikiProject:Wikis to Add]] lists a large collection of raw URLs for known wiki sites.  Please help us move each one to its own article page here using [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki|Add it to WikiIndex!]].  That should automatically put the wiki in the [[:Category:All|'All' category]].  Thank you.
