:The basic problem is that WikiIndex is an index of wikis. Then, in the same namespace, there are other "articles." That creates conflicts and ambiguities and obscurities. Hence there is a page just created as a glossary entry, [[Vanity wiki]] but it conflicts with an actual wiki name. And actual wiki names are different from the URL names. We can handle that with disambiguation pages, but best would be, I think, a separate namespace, maybe more than one. Glossary might indeed go into the Help namespace. However, glossaries should probably not have a separate page for each word! This is not Wiktionary. One page might be able to cover every term needing definition. It could also be in the WikiIndex namespace. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 22:38, 7 January 2015 (UTC) | :The basic problem is that WikiIndex is an index of wikis.

::I am claiming that mainspace, here, should be just an index of wikis. There may be cases where disambiguation is required, still.
