'''WikiApiary''' is a [[wiki]] that collects, analyzes, and displays 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 was created by [[Jamie Thingelstad]], aka Thingles, with assistance from [[Karsten Hoffmeyer]] who edits under his username [[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] (and others).  It allows anyone to edit, providing they register and {{tag|ConfirmEmail|confirm a valid e-mail}} address.  Much of the page updating on the site is carried out by three [[wikiapiary:WikiApiary:Bots|bot accounts]].  Originally created in {{tag|Wiki English|English}}, WikiApiary was expanded to include other [[:Category:Wiki Language|languages]], including: {{tag|Wiki German|German}}, formal German, {{tag|Wiki Greek|Greek}}, {{tag|Wiki French|French}}, and {{tag|Wiki Russian|Russian}}.  More recent language additions include {{tag|Wiki Catalan|Catalan}}, {{tag|Wiki Spanish|Spanish}}, {{tag|Wiki Japanese|Japanese}}, {{tag|Wiki Korean|Korean}}, {{tag|Wiki Turkish|Turkish}}, and {{tag|Wiki Chinese|Chinese}}.

;Differences between WikiApiary and WikiIndex
Originally independently hosted, it is now hosted on the {{tag|Wikimedia Cloud VPS}} wiki farm from the [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] (WMF).

<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 {{tag|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>
