I notice that according to {{Wp|Wikia}}, "Wikia hosts several hundred thousand wikis". Of course, WikiIndex only lists a small fraction of those. I wonder how many of those several hundred thousand were test wikis and the like, and were [[:Category: | I notice that according to {{Wp|Wikia}}, "Wikia hosts several hundred thousand wikis".

Anyway, I suppose we can operate under the assumption that any wiki that nobody bothered to list at WikiIndex probably isn't all that important. The significance is that whatever wikis aren't listed at WikiIndex aren't going to end up in the [[Proposal:Interwiki list|interwiki list]], unless I do a separate run to grab that data off of [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] and other wiki farms. Whether that would be desirable given the potentially high rate of useless Wikia wikis is another story. It might hurt the {{Mw|Canonical interwiki prefixes|interwiki map}} project to clog up the list with a bunch of items pertaining to low-quality wikis.
