 === Excluding wikis from WikiIndex ===
+''The following is a quote of sysop DavidCary:'' "[[Category talk:Wiki Edit Mode | As I have said before]], in my opinion, every publicly-available wiki should be listed on this WikiIndex, no matter how evil. The only exception is when that wiki's owner or that wiki's community chooses to [[WikiIndex:OptOut]]. (Although I don't understand why one would put a wiki on the public web, but not want anyone to know about it, I will respect such wishes)."

+''The following is a quote of sysop DavidCary:'' "[[Category_talk:Active_administrators_of_this_wiki#some_wiki_seem_to_be_blocked | Others]] seem to agree with my "completist" preferences." [[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 23:35, 2 September 2009 (EDT) [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:16, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
+''The following is a quote of sysop DavidCary:'' "You may be able to convince me that we shouldn't display offensive wiki logos, and perhaps you may convince me that we shouldn't make an easily-clickable active link to an illegal site." [[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 23:35, 2 September 2009 (EDT) [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:16, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
+''The following is a quote of sysop DavidCary:'' "But to completely censor every mention of a wiki? How does "pretend that evil wiki don't exist" help our users?" [[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 23:35, 2 September 2009 (EDT) [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:16, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
+:If it is a question of something our readers need to know, of course. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:16, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
+:It wouldn't help our users, necessarily, it may help whomever the evil wiki is being evil ''to'', by giving the wiki an incentive to change their evil ways. But you know, there is evil and then there is evil... oh yeah, then there is evil. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:16, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
