WikiIndex has no policy that single-user wikis are to be deleted as "spam," as he claims in [[Vanity wiki]] --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 20:17, 7 January 2015 (UTC) | :::It should not matter.

::::I thought the objection to single-user wikis was basically that instead of there being collaboration (which is the whole point of wikis), these wikis are just a venue used by one user as a promotional platform for his ideas. Basically, it was desired to create a threshold that wikis would need to meet, of having cultivated at least a minimal community (two active users) before being listed here, so that the option of creating a WikiIndex listing linking to one's site would not be open to anyone who knew how to install MediaWiki on a shared host. They would need to attract at least one other interested party to participate in their wiki, which would deter most self-promoters | ::::I thought the objection to single-user wikis was basically that instead of there being collaboration (which is the whole point of wikis), these wikis are just a venue used by one user as a promotional platform for his ideas.
