Wikisphere: Difference between revisions

On a [[wp:Special:Statistics|vast]] wiki like the [[English Wikipedia]], a virtual community can form around one page or one subject they are all interested in; write about, edit, discuss.  Like [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunschweig a page about a City], [http://www.braunschweig.de real communities] form [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Braunschweig virtual communities] and [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Braunschweig vice versa].  Naturally, a bigger scope of [[wiki]] community are the [[Special:ActiveUsers|active users]] of one wiki.  Beyond that, there are [[:Category:WikiFarm|wiki farms]] like [[:Category:Referata|Referata]], breeding places for initially mostly small wikis where the [[founder]] gets support from the community of the farm, synergies are established like the [[Volunteer Spam Task Force]] on [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] where the individual wikis are not so individual, rather like offices in a big building and you need only one [[user]] account to access them all.  Others prefer to call one server for the development for many wikis a [[:Category:odd-wiki-hive|hive]] like in 'bee hive' which is a charming analogy like [[wp:Anthill|anthill]] that illustrates the business of folks there but does not reflect that there is no 'queen'.
