:::'''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. But there's not a problem with talking about mirrors. Either way, I don't know of any articles here ''on'' mirrors. Do you?

:::: I support the idea to list mirrors and to write help-text about how that works, not only tregarding those which mirror wikipedia. I imagine this wikis purpose to be also educative about all matters related to wiki. If it helps to create more understanding amongst wiki-readers when and how they are looking not in but at a mirror, it would be a good thing. Possibly there should be a separate chapter for mirrors like for WikiEngines, WikiHosting and WikiFarms. We got also a bit about archives that could be more detailed and comprehensive. Basically an archive is a mirror even for dead wikis ;-) It is a good thing to list a mirror, as long as it is clear, that it is a mirror and not an actual wiki. It may be going too far to make chapter for mirroring-engines unless they are very specific for wiki. There I would draw the line.
