Most of the articles created in this wiki will be about other individual wikis. Please refer to [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki]] for further information. | |||
Other very limited topics are also appropriate, about wiki people, wiki terms, and how to use this wiki. Please be restrained in adding such peripheral material. | |||
Before proceeding, please review: | |||

If it is similar, you may find the article you are looking for under "title matches" or "page matches". If there is no similar article, then go ahead and create one! | An "article" is a snippet of information about a given topic.
