Revision as of 16:50, 11 January 2023

Please note: – before creating a new article or category page for a wiki farm here on this WikiIndex wiki site, kindly ensure you have used the search function to check if the desired wiki farm article or category is already listed here, albeit maybe under a slightly different spelling. Furthermore, please ensure you have read WikiIndex:Naming conventions, as this describes how we name articles and categories here on WikiIndex. Thanks :-)



Form: Wiki farm — this is the wiki farm form, which calls upon our wiki farm infobox template. Use the form below to create a new category or article page for a wiki farm, or view and edit an existing wiki farm article or category page here on WikiIndex.

With this form, enter the full, correct name of the wiki farm in the box below (taking care to ensure accuracy of spelling and grammar), and click on the 'create a new wiki farm article page or category, or edit an existing wiki farm article' button.

Please bear in mind that many wiki farms are listed here on WikiIndex as a 'category', so, if the wiki farm already has (or will have) wiki site articles using said wiki farm, you will need to also prefix the farm name with Category: — for example: Category:Wiki farm name. However, if / when listing either an experimental wiki farm, or an abandoned wiki farm which has never been used to create an actual wiki, or a farm which only hosts private wiki sites, the Category: may be omitted.

If a category or article page with that identical wiki farm name already exists here on WikiIndex, you will automatically be directed to a form to edit that existing page. If no wiki farm (of that identical name) is listed, you will then be prompted to a further series of step-by-step edit boxes where you can add full detail of the wiki farm you wish to list here on WikiIndex.

Please note: – before creating any new wiki farm articles or categories, please ensure you have used the search function to check if the desired farm is already listed here, albeit maybe under a slightly different spelling. Thanks :-)

Articles or categories created using this form will automatically added to category: Wiki farm.
