:I had been using the parenthetical only to differentiate when there's more than one wiki with the same name. The problem with putting the extra word in the pagename is that it will add an extra step during a search. Instead of taking you right to the page with the name [[Wookieepedia]], if we change it to "Wookiepedia [Wikia]", a person searching for "Wookiepedia" will be presented with search result options and have to choose from those. That seems like bad UI to me. Instead, maybe we could make the Wiki Farm or Hosting Site part of the infobox. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 12:37, 16 December 2010 (PST) | :I had been using the parenthetical only to differentiate when there's more than one wiki with the same name.

::Is it possible to do an alternate [[:Category:Infobox | ::Is it possible to do an alternate [[:Category:Infobox template|infobox]], that includes everything from the [[Template:Wiki|standard infobox]], but adds on wiki farm? That would stop all other wikis having some sort of 'None' line.<br><br>Alternatively, would it be possible to have a wiki farm line that vanishes if the line is left blank, but adds [[:category: Wikia]] or whatever, if filled in?

:Both solutions are possible, but I think that the 2nd solution might work better. Otherwise, when we modified the standard infobox, we'd also need to modify the alternate infoboxes. I can easily see them getting out of sync. I've learned but have forgotten the syntax to make an optional parameter that will not appear if not used. I believe it uses some kind of {{{if}}} statement. It already exists in practice in the standard template for the wiki license parameter. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 14:57, 28 February 2011 (PST) | :Both solutions are possible, but I think that the 2nd solution might work better.
