The question is, who qualifies as wiki person? Just any one who once edited a wiki? --[[User_talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 10:13, 18 January 2017 (PST)

:'''Agreed''' We need to discuss the who's and the what's. ''Who'' would merit an entry in WikiIndex and ''what'' should we allow/encourage others to publish? One thing that I've considered is reserving shorter bios for the article about the wiki itself and in the case of personalities who are not associated with a single wiki to make a page for that person. Regarding what can be included, I think some info should be obvious, regarding the law (no SSNs, no real names of someone who is a private figure, etc.) but there should also probably be a measure of civility when it comes to disagreements or controversies. We are in a bit of a pickle because on the one hand we want this to be a welcoming place that encourages members of the WikiSphere to talk about their own wikis and experiences but we also ''don't'' want this to become a gossip clique or self-promotional spam.

::I think what qualifies as a wiki person is someone who has edited a large amount of wikis or is employed by a wiki farm, such as [[Yaron Koren]]. --[[User talk:Rock-O-Jello|This is MY book, and I'm gonna READ IT!!!]] 12:27, 18 January 2017 (PST)
