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) | The question is, who qualifies as wiki person?

:'''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) | :: 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) | ||
Common sense has to be the starting point as to ''what'' we write here on WikiIndex. I would like us to follow same principles used for biographies on the [[English Wikipedia]] for living people. I have noticed (during my extended sabbatical) many wiki people articles here have been dramatically trimmed down - some are now verging on being a stub article. Fundamentally, if specific information about a wiki person is already in the public domain - and is related to their wiki activity, then we should also use said info here on WikiIndex. Furthermore, because these 'wiki people articles' are what could be considered a biography, we can also feasibly include a wider range of info on said person.
