[[WikiNodes Wiki]] -- discussion of the WikiNode network [http://WikiNode.info WikiNode.info]


The Wiki Nodes Wiki is about the concept of organizing people and wikis through a network of interests.
The WikiNodes Wiki is about the concept of organizing people and wikis through a network of interests. Like [[SwitchWiki]], every wiki is described by a single wiki page. Unlike SwitchWiki (which places 1 page per wiki on the SwitchWiki; naming that page after the wiki it describes), the Wiki Nodes Network places 1 page about that wiki (and a few neighbors) on that wiki itself (naming that page WikiNode).

Thus we will place a WikiNode here on this page! ;-) :

(This page is a dual-duty page. This page is the WikiNode for WorldWideWiki, and it is also the page of SwitchWiki that describes the wiki called the "Wiki Nodes Wiki". Sorry if this [http://wiklossary.nearlythere.com/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi/McGuffin WikLossary:McGuffin] is confusing.  )

Reformatted a little, this page looks content wise like a pretty good TourBusStop page. [[User:158.135.241.100|158.135.241.100]] 02:50, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

: It would be good for us to have a [[TourBusStop]] as well.  The tour bus is another way to traverse the wiki universe, wiki nodes is another one, and this site itself, wiki index, is a 3rd. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:52, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

First is that I think of them as basic wiki ideas, deserving of place in the "main" namespace.  Second, all of our neighbors are simply '''WikiNode''' - not '''WikiWikiWeb:WikiNode''' and '''RecentChangesCamp:WikiNode'''.  For those reasons I am moving the page back.  I am still interested in why you think it should be a meta page.

: Those wikis don't use namespaces.  We do.  Our [[WikiNode]] is not a basic wiki idea.  The WikiNodesNetwork is the basic wiki idea and [[WikiNode]] or [[WikiNodes]] such as heck do belong in the main namespace and should be about the whole network, not just our WikiNode.

I am not understanding you. What do you mean that our wiki node is not a basic wiki idea?  A [[WikiNode]] on a wiki is a simple page - its general structure is set out at the [[WikiNodes]] wiki.  Why would it be any different on our wiki?  [[MarkDilley]]
