===Huw Powel removed four similar wikis from the RationalWiki article===
(Note, this is the last edit before they were all moved to the talk pages. Coincidence?)
[[User_talk:Huw_Powell#Removing_four_similar_wikis_from_the_RationalWiki_article|I have inquired as to how this is helping WikiIndex, on his talk page]]. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 12:31, 9 September 2009 (EDT)
:How were they "similar", apart from being wikis? An encyclopedia; RW is not.  A parody of a conservative encyclopedia, RW is not; what were the other two?  An atheism wiki?  RW is not. ??? [[User:Huw Powell|Huw Powell]] 22:14, 9 September 2009 (EDT)
::Do you have a brain tumor or is the cat walking on your keyboard? They have similar content, OBVIOUSLY. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 01:39, 10 September 2009 (EDT) (I'm not really as frustrated as I sound, I only talk like this to Huw because that is how he talks to everyone else. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 01:50, 10 September 2009 (EDT) )
''See also is for related things. Categories are for similar things. Only those wikis that are actually related (besides Proxima Centauri having an account on all of them) should be listed on see also. [[User:Nx|Nx]] 15:04, 9 September 2009 (EDT)'' (quote by Lumenos)
:I'll change the section title to "Similar wikis". [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 01:50, 10 September 2009 (EDT)
::Since you managed to wikilawyer yourself out of my definition, let me rephrase that. Similar wikis should be listed in categories, related wikis should be in the article, either in the text or in the See also section.

::MySQL is one of the most used db systems on the web. Wikipedia uses it. Google uses it. Facebook uses it. I would argue that it's pretty stable if all these websites use it. And a mysql crash wouldn't take the entire server down. Trent said it was a hardware error, but he didn't provide details. I'll ignore your conspiracy theories and insinuations.

:::Thanks for the info Nx. I'm going to ignore this conspiracy theory myself, it was obviously the work of lumetics.

== Sorry about... ==
That edit where I must have put the Huw Powel section up at the top by accident. Nx reverted. My bad. Didn't notice that until now. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 02:43, 10 September 2009 (EDT)
:See, this is why you should leave other people's posts alone. [[User:Nx|Nx]] 02:46, 10 September 2009 (EDT)
