A <b>vanity wiki</b> is a [[wiki]] site that is used as a {{tag|personal}} {{Wp|vanity press}}, and may include [[:Category:Advertising|advertising]] (particularly self-promotion), self-deprecation, or attempts to become an internet [[:Category:Celebrity|celebrity]]. A vanity wiki can sometimes be a [[:Category:Bliki|bliki]]; used for [[:Category:Journal|journaling]], propagation of one's [[:Category:Ideas|ideas]] and [[:Category:Opinion|opinions]], etcetera. | |||
The term "vanity wiki" is more about the believed intentions of the [[:Category:Wiki people|person]] or persons behind the endeavour, and not about observable facts. So when anybody calls a wiki a "vanity wiki", you know now what it means. | |||
<b>Examples</b> | |||
