Should the wiki description page be in the [[:Category:Wiki Engine]]? I would say not, otherwise we end up with each wiki engine listed twice (since each also appears as a sub category) | Should the wiki description page be in the [[:Category:Wiki Engine]]?

How to handle wiki engines where we find only one wiki using it. Maybe the article page should be added to [[:Category:Wiki Engine]], and we dont bother creating a a category for it? -- [[User:Harry Wood|Harry Wood]] 05:56, 31 Jan 2006 (EST) | How to handle wiki engines where we find only one wiki using it.

:::Actually there's already something called [[:Category:Proprietary]] which was presumably created with this kind of intention. I reckon maybe we should put these wikis into the that category, then just mention on their article page, that they are powered by proprietary software called 'blahblah'. Note this will significantly reduce the number of subcategories in the 'Wiki Engines' category. -- [[User:Harry Wood|Harry Wood]] 10:05, 13 Feb 2006 (EST) | :::Actually there's already something called [[:Category:Proprietary]] which was presumably created with this kind of intention.

::Specifically we need to find which page says "<nowiki>[[Category:MediaWiki?]]</nowiki>" (or tag template equivalent).
