There is no harm in keeping this category. It's true that we don't need a wiki's permission to list it. It's true that no one seems to have opted out so far. Still, that doesn't mean that we can't respect the wishes of a wiki which asks not to be listed in this index. --MarvelZuvembie (talk) 19:04, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

I don't think this is a bad idea. I can imagine wikis made by companies or studentgroups, who would rather not have people looking to deeply to into what there doing. For example, a Dutch wiki I tried to add of a businessgroup had a secure tag in it, that did not allow me to add them to Wikiindex. --Redgreenfourties (talk) 19:09, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
