 ==naming places that host lots of wiki==
-I think I messed up with [[Near-Time]] and [[StikiPad]].  They are technically not wiki -- they are [[WikiFarm]]s that allow lots of people to set up lots of wiki.  So ... to be consistent with what people seem to already be doing, (such as [[:Category:TaoRiver]] and [[Pbwiki]] which redirects to [[:Category:Pbwiki]]), should we "move" (rename) them into the Category: namespace, a sub-category of [[:Category:WikiFarm]]?
+I think I messed up with [[Near-Time]] and [[StikiPad]].  They are technically not wiki -- they are '[[wiki farm]]s' that allow lots of people to set up lots of wiki.  So ... to be consistent with what people seem to already be doing, (such as [[:Category:TaoRiver]] and [[Pbwiki]] which redirects to [[:Category:Pbwiki]]), should we "move" (rename) them into the Category: namespace, a sub-category of [[:Category:WikiFarm]]?
 I expected the people who set up Near-Time and StikiPad -- obviously familiar with how wonderful wiki are -- to have a prominent link to a wiki holding FAQs about that host.  I am a bit surprised that not only is there no prominent link, I can't even find an obscure link.  I'm starting to suspect -- maybe there is no wiki about Near-Time or StikiPad? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 23:17, 15 October 2006 (EDT)
 : Mark and I started to move wiki farms and wiki engines to their respective categories, but the effort petered out.  Feel free to pick it back up.  There are templates, I think. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 18:10, 16 October 2006 (EDT)
+===2012 current status===
+====wiki engines====
+Following on from the above standard, the basic wiki engine will be a subcategory of  [[:Category:Wiki Engine]], and will have an infobox rendered via the <tt>{{template|Wiki Engine}}</tt> template (now with a orange border).  However, if the said wiki engine also has its own wiki - say as a management administration 'help desk' or similar, then it will also have its own separate article in the main namespace, and will have its infobox rendered via the standard <tt>{{template|Wiki}}</tt> template (with the default black border); with the description prose clearly detailing the relationship between the namespace wiki article to the category wiki engine.
+A handy tip for the administration wiki: when listing it in its relevant wiki engine category, use a pipe then a space in the category, eg, for [[MediaWiki]], add <tt><nowiki>[[Category:MediaWiki| ]]</nowiki></tt> at the bottom of the edit box, and this will then list it at the begining of all other category listings.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 07:04, 28 September 2012 (PDT)
+====wiki farms====
+Wiki farms will follow the same format - the basic wiki farm will be a subcategory of  [[:Category:WikiFarm]], the infobox will be rendered via the <tt>{{template|Wiki Farm}}</tt> (now with a green border), and any wikis used for the administration of the said engine will be in the main namespace, eg, for [[Wikkii.com]], add <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Wikkii| ]]</nowiki></tt> at the bottom of the edit box.
+For those where there is no clear definition of weather it is primarilly a wiki engine or a wiki farm - such as say [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], use your best judgement as to which template to use for its infobox.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 07:04, 28 September 2012 (PDT)
