From the founding outset of [[WikiIndex]], the long-term goal has been to have an article entry page; and therefore an [[Template:Wiki|infobox]]; for <u>ALL</u> wiki sites, even [[:Category:Dead|dead]] and / or [[:Category:Dormant|dormant]] wiki sites. Forked wiki sites are to be treated with exactly the same ethos; therefore, WikiIndex has a specific method of dealing with forked wiki.

Forked wiki sites are to be treated with exactly the same ethos; therefore, WikiIndex has a specific method of dealing with forked wiki. Fundamentally, a forked wiki site [[article]] (and also any [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]] forks) ''should'' each have their own <u>separate</u> article page, with their own infobox and [[Template:Size|size template]].<!--Separate articles are preferred due to different page counts, wikiFactor values, edit modes, even differing wiki engines, etc--> The two separate wiki site article pages should be annotated at the top of their respective pages with a standard 'hatnote', specifically using [[template:For]]; this will give the reader of the article here on WikiIndex salient information, along with the required [[wikilink]], to either the original (spoon) wiki site, or its subsequent forked wiki site. | ||
[[Mirror]]ed wiki sites ''may'' be treated different to forked wiki sites, in that both wiki sites (if both remain [[:Category:Active|active]]) will eventually contain differing content, and may ultimately form differing identities. In these instances, we would have two (or more, for multiple mirrors) separate page articles here on WikiIndex. Again, just like the forked examples, a 'hatnote' template should be used on all article pages relevant to any mirrors, and the originating wiki site article. | [[Mirror]]ed wiki sites ''may'' be treated different to forked wiki sites, in that both wiki sites (if both remain [[:Category:Active|active]]) will eventually contain differing content, and may ultimately form differing identities.
