We think every wiki needs a page (called "WikiNode") that briefly describes the wiki and the top 7 or so closely related wikis. Why do you want a WikiNode on your wiki? | We think every wiki needs a page (called "[[WikiNode]]") that briefly describes the wiki and the top 7 or so closely related wikis.

The second step, which we do not do, is to add a link from WikiIndex to the WikiNode in question. We don't do it because the boilerplate isn't useful as a WikiNode yet, until that community takes on the editing of the page. They can come to WikiIndex and link from their page to their own WikiNode once they've taken over it's care. | The second step, which we do not do, is to add a link from WikiIndex to the WikiNode in question.
