==page name redundancy and proposed solution==
We have a redundancy, where the name of the WikiIndex page for each wiki, and that wikis name in the template, can be different.  I propose the solution that's currently implimented at [[Template:Wiki Test]] where PAGENAME is used instead of wiki_name.  I'm happy to make that change here, if there are no objections.  Is there a potential downside I'm not seeing?  Once we make the change to the template, we can then change the boilerplate.  This will mean some unnecessary data for all wikis we have entered already, but future entries will be correct, and we can clean them out with a bot or over time, no rush as it doesn't affect anything.

: After talking with Ray, I went ahead and implimented this change.  wiki_name no longer appears on the boilerplate and is no longer used to display the wikiname on any page using the wiki template.  We can do the same for Wiki_list, or just let that template lie and pages be updated as they take the new template.

Hi Smiddle.  Great idea to have the boilerplate info closer at hand when looking at this template.  I linked to our actual boilerplate as an alternative to what you did so that way things will always be up to date (no duplication that can become unsynchronized).

hard code image to wiki_url?

This is great Ted!! Can it be done for the image?

You're talking about the image linking to the wiki url instead of to the wikiindex image page? That doesn't seem to be within the control of the template, but rather a mediawiki feature, hard-coded under the hood somewhere. John would be your man on this one, I'm afraid.

Parameters

How about an ontolgy of this metadata - expressed in RDF it could be harvested from the wikis so people don't always have to update the pages at WikiIndex?

wiki_logo
URL of an image
wiki_URL
URL
wiki_recentchanges_URL
URL
wiki_wikinode_URL
URL
wiki_status
tag (Category:Wiki Status) - selected set
wiki_language
tag/ISO-code (Category:Wiki Language) - selected set
wiki_editmode
tag (Category:Wiki Edit Mode) - selected set
wiki_engine
tag (Category:Wiki Engine) - relatively open set
wiki_maintopic
tag (Category:Wiki Topic) - open

In MediaWiki it could be expored this way but also RDFa is possible. -- Nichtich 09:31, 22 August 2006 (EDT)

link to about instead of RC?

boilerplate

Hi Smiddle. Great idea to have the boilerplate info closer at hand when looking at this template. I linked to our actual boilerplate as an alternative to what you did so that way things will always be up to date (no duplication that can become unsynchronized).
