The following wikis are powered by the '''GetWiki''' wiki engine. | |||
The homepage is at : [http://www.getwiki.net/ getwiki.net]. This is not itself a wiki, but [[GetMeta]] wiki is partly aimed at describing/discussing the engine. | |||
The engine is a fork development of the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki engine]]. The main purpose of the engine actually is to power [[wikinfo.org]] a website which forks the whole english wikipedia! | |||
The engine has some special features aimed specifically at forking wikipedia. | |||
''Instead of red links, GetWiki uses green links to point to articles which do not exist locally. When the user follows such a link, GetWiki tries to dynamically fetch it from the wiki designated as an external source (in Wikinfo's case, the English Wikipedia), renders and displays the article text. A local copy is created only if the page is edited. Effectively, Wikinfo therefore provides a transparent "wrapper" around Wikipedia pages which have not yet been copied.''
