:In other words, do you mean that (1) it's not a general encyclopedia (i.e. a work that, like Wikipedia, seeks to be the sum of all knowledge), or (2) it's not an encyclopedia at all — not even an encyclopedia of wikis, but rather an index of wikis? "Encyclopedia" is defined as "a book or set of books giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject and typically arranged alphabetically."

This might not help :-) ... WikiIndex is a wiki of wiki. It is not an encyclopedia, it is not Wikipedia, it is a wiki. A wiki gets defined by the community. In my experience, any word on the wiki can be edited, talk page, account page, whatever. We are a wiki. We don't have a 'product' like Wikipedia. People working on the wiki are the value of the wiki.
