==Forked wiki articles on WikiIndex== | |||
From the outset of [[WikiIndex]], the long-term goal is to have an entry – and therefore an [[Template:Wiki|infobox]] – for ALL wiki sites, even [[:Category:Dead|dead]] and / or dormant wiki. Forked wiki are treated the same, therefore, we have a specific method of dealing with forked wiki. Fundamentally, a forked wiki will have two infoboxes, ideally on the same article. The two versions of wiki can be separated on the same page by using [[template:Clear]], and this will prevent the prose of the forked wiki 'crowding' the infobox of the original wiki. | From the outset of [[WikiIndex]], the long-term goal is to have an entry – and therefore an [[Template:Wiki|infobox]] – for ALL wiki sites, even [[:Category:Dead|dead]] and/or dormant wiki.

[[Mirror]]ed wiki ''may'' be treated different to forked wiki, in that both wiki (if both remain [[:Category:Active|active]]) will eventually contain differing content, and may ultimately form differing identities. In these instances, we would have two (or more, for multiple mirrors) page articles here on WikiIndex. | [[Mirror]]ed wiki ''may'' be treated different to forked wiki, in that both wiki (if both remain [[:Category:Active|active]]) will eventually contain differing content, and may ultimately form differing identities.
