'''WikiApiary''' is a [[wiki]] that collects, displays and analyzes information about the usage and performance of {{tag|MediaWiki}} websites; its main focus is to examine other MediaWiki sites to see what [[mw:Extension:Contents|extensions]] they run, and how they operate. Naturally, WikiApiary itself runs on MediaWiki, and also uses the {{tag|Semantic MediaWiki}} (SMW) plugin. | '''WikiApiary''' is a [[wiki]] that collects, displays and analyzes information about the usage and performance of {{tag|MediaWiki}} websites; its main focus is to examine other MediaWiki sites to see what [[mw:Extension:Contents|extensions]] they run, and how they operate.

<blockquote>". . . I think [[WikiIndex]] and WikiApiary are very different. Notably, WikiApiary is only about the MediaWiki-verse, where WikiIndex is about the entire [[Wikiverse]]. WikiApiary is more about data, WikiIndex is more about text and background . . . I've considered adding some timeline features to WikiApiary so that users and more importantly bots could start to build a history for a wiki. I had considered supporting non-MediaWiki wikis at one point, but no other wikis have such robust API's and now WikiApiary is so entrenched in the MediaWiki ecosystem I have little interest in trying to support others. [[wikiapiary:Skin:Skins|Skin:Main Page]] and [[wikiapiary:Extension:Extensions|Extension:Main Page]] would be less useful if it were generic. For MediaWiki sites on WikiIndex it would be really cool to be able to feed a live infobox from WikiApiary with data on usage. Some sort of Widget or something. . ."</blockquote> | |||
