:I had been using the parenthetical only to differentiate when there's more than one wiki with the same name. The problem with putting the extra word in the pagename is that it will add an extra step during a search. Instead of taking you right to the page with the name Wookiepedia, if we change it to "Wookiepedia [Wikia]", a person searching for "Wookiepedia" will be presented with search result options and have to choose from those. That seems like bad UI to me. Instead, maybe we could make the Wiki Farm or Hosting Site part of the infobox. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 12:37, 16 December 2010 (PST)

::Is it possible to do an alternate infobox, that includes everything from the standard infobox, but adds on wikifarm? That would stop all other wikis having some sort of 'None' line.
::Alternatively, would it be possible to have a WikiFarm line that vanishes if the line is left blank, but adds [[:Category:Wikia]] or whatever, if filled in? [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 11:08, 28 February 2011 (PST)
