A '''vanity wiki''' is a wiki used as a personal {{w|vanity press}} for advertising (including self-promotion), self-deprecation, or attempts to become an Internet celebrity. A vanity wiki can sometimes be a [[bliki]] used for journaling, propagation of one's ideas and opinions, etc.

Per WikiIndex community standards, any wiki that (1) only has one user, and (2) is owned by the user who is adding it to WikiIndex, is considered a vanity wiki. Such listings are deleted as [[spam]].
The term is by all means a POV because it is more about the believed intentions of the person or persons behind the endeavour and not about observable facts. So when anybody calls a wiki names, you know now what it means in this case.
