+An '''about page''' on a [[wiki]] site is a [[:Category:Meta|meta page]] that describes the actual [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]]; its purpose, its culture (values and norms), and usually its [[owner]]ship, and a little about its history ([[:Category:Wiki age|founding date]] and [[founder]], etc).  As part of describing the [[:Category:Wiki Topic|wiki's purpose]], the about page may also summarise the wiki's [[inclusion policy]], and what the wiki is and what it is not.  It may also contain a [[WikiNode]].  From one wiki site to another, some about pages may just be a brief one or two line summary, whilst on other wiki sites, it could be a long, detailed, and extensive page, and may also include encyclopaedic citations and a bibliography.

+Wiki sites may encourage new [[User|people]] to read the about page before contributing, so that they do not inadvertently violate expectations (e.g. by posting content that is outside the scope of the wiki, or breaching local etiquette when interacting with other contributors).
