Please see [[mw:Canonical interwiki prefixes]]. What should we do about [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=The&namespace=0 all these wikis] with names that start with "The"? In determining the interwiki prefix, should we just dump the "The"? E.g., why does [[The Crochet Wiki]] need to have that "The"? It isn't about a film called ''The Crochet'' or anything like that.

:Personally, the word "The" should be stripped from all those wikis, unless they are explicitly known with a leading "The" in their title (I can't think of any wikis at the moment, but say there was a wiki for ''The Times'' newspaper, that should stay). I've moved The Crochet Wiki to [[Crochet Wiki]] - the name field in the infobox template is used a manual override, but the page now gets categorised under the letter C. And even ''if'' it were about a film called ''The Crochet'', neither the film, nor the wiki would be notable enough to retain the leading "The". | |||
:But another far more important issue is that a massive number of wikis have been catalogued here on WikiIndex with a [[CamelCase]] name, when a huge number of them don't actually use CamelCase.
