- Sure Why wouldn't we? Koavf (talk) 06:44, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
- Because there are so many sites that use Wikipedia content, for instance, that aren't wikis. Leucosticte (talk) 06:52, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
- Solution Make List of Wikipedia mirrors. Even though this site is ostensibly about all wikis and topics related to wikis, it probably would be a wasted effort to list every single site that scrapes data for Wikipedia.
