I think simply "WikiIndex" is confusing... I'd personally make either that or "Wikis" the root node of the category that contains all wikis, and subcategories listing *kinds* of wikis...  If this is a meta category I'd personally prefer it to have a name like "WikiIndex Itself" or just "Meta".  The latter is shorter but I think the former would be more universally understood. - [[User:JenniferForUnity|JenniferForUnity]] 17:03, 16 October 2006 (EDT)

Is there interest in having a Category:WikiIndex to hold all of our meta pages? I'm thinking that would clean up Category:Browse quite a bit. I'm willing to do it, but don't want to if I'm the only one that it will benefit. TedErnst | talk 13:41, 8 Mar 2006 (EST)
