Proposal:WikiIndex Pages on indexed Wikis: Difference between revisions

Dear [[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]], I see now what you are driving at. However, I agree with [[TedErnst]]; it does look somewhat unsolicited. I would definitely drop the internal links; how many non-IT wikis have a page on CamelCase? Maybe a less intrusive form would be to create a 'stub' page for said wiki (i.e. seed the initiative) in WikiIndex, then leave a note on the wikis Talk:Main_Page. I suspect however that this is a huge task, for example, the chaps at S23 have a list of 28,857 wikis (see [http://s23.org/wikistats/index.php Wiki Stats]). A pretty good robot script would have to be written, although

it would probably be blocked by reCAPTCHA. I also suspect that a number of these wikis are 'wikis for a day', i.e. someone has downloaded the wiki software and played with it for a day, but then loose interest. At least with the present set-up at WikiIndex, having to write ones own page here is a type of filter, thus choosing wikis that are more 'serious'. --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User_talk:Spud_Gun |talk]]) 05:09, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
