'''WikiApiary''' is a [[wiki]] that collects, displays and analyzes information about the usage and performance of {{tag|MediaWiki}} websites; its main focus is to examine other MediaWiki sites to see what [[mw:Extension:Contents|extensions]] they run, and how they operate.  Naturally, WikiApiary itself runs on MediaWiki, and also uses the {{tag|Semantic MediaWiki}} (SMW) plugin.

WikiApiary was created by [[User:Thingles|Thingles]], with assistance from [[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] (and others), and allows anyone to edit providing they register and {{tag|ConfirmEmail|confirm a valid e-mail}} address.  Much of the page updating on the site is carried out by three [http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/WikiApiary:Bots bot accounts].

:I think WikiIndex and WikiApiary are very different. Notably, WikiApiary is only about the MediaWiki-verse, where WikiIndex is about the entire Wikiverse. WikiApiary is more about data, WikiIndex is more about text and background . . . I've considered adding some timeline features to WikiApiary so that users and more importantly bots could start to build a history for a wiki. I had considered supporting non-MediaWiki wikis at one point, but no other wikis have such robust API's and now WikiApiary is so entrenched in the MediaWiki ecosystem I have little interest in trying to support others. [http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Skin:Main_Page Skin:Main Page] and [http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Main_Page Extension:Main Page] would be less useful if it were generic. For MediaWiki sites on WikiIndex it would be really cool to be able to feed a live infobox from WikiApiary with data on usage. Some sort of Widget or something.
