Category:Wiki lists: Difference between revisions

The "root category" of this [[WikiIndex]] wiki is [[:Category:Browse]].  This '''Wiki Lists''' [[Special:Categories|category]] is a direct child, or subcategory of Browse, and it contains ''different ways of {{tag|Lists|listing}} wikis''.  If and when this category is cleaned up, it will only contain categories that explain a system for listing [[wiki]]s (these should probably in turn contain categories that are actually applied to wikis.

Here are subcategories that are correctly placed here:

*'''''For Browsing:'''''

**'''[[:Category:All]]''' — the least picky category of all – every single wiki that's not "[[:Category:Dormant]]".

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Age]]''' — this contains categories for the founding date of the wiki, like "[[:Category:FoundedIn2005]]", and so on.

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Edit Mode]]''' — this contains categories describing who is allowed to edit the wiki.

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Engine]]''' — wikis run on wiki software, and there are many different types of wiki software – this is for categorizing them that way.

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Language]]''' — this contains categories describing the primary language in which the wiki is <u>written</u> in (and not its subject matter).

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Status]]''' — this contains labels for "how the wiki's community is fairing".

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Topic]]''' — wikis have ''content'', remember? – what topic(s) or subject matter does the content fall under? – (this category has hundreds of subcategories that probably need to be turned into their own tree.)

**'''[[:Category:Wiki License]]''' — lists the specific license or licenses under which the content of the wiki is released.

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Location]]''' — categories for describing a wiki's connection to geographic places.

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Size]]''' — how many articles does the wiki have? – categories like LessThan10, MoreThan10, MoreThan20, and MoreThan50, etc, right up to those wikis with a million pages or more.

**'''[[:Category:wikiFactor]]''' — describes the impact or importance of a wiki.

**'''[[:Category:Wiki Backups]]''' — lists those wikis which have been 'backed up', with the URL of said backup file.

*'''''For Editing:'''''

**'''[[:Category:Unknown]]''' — wikis are included in this when their page needs to be added to particular kinds of Unknown categories in the above Browsing categories.

**'''[[:Category:Wikis to add]]''' — for wikis that have a 'skeleton' page here at WikiIndex, but need the [[:Template:Wiki|Wiki template]] added, or have the template, but the information hasn't been filled in yet.  Make pages with nothing but the URL for a wiki... and add <code><nowiki>{{add}}</nowiki></code>, or use the new wiki form on [[WikiIndex:Community portal|Community Portal]] so that the wiki's page will show up here.

[[WikiIndex:WikiProject:Wikis to Add]] lists a collection of raw wiki URLs.  Please help us move each one to its own page here using [[WikiIndex:Add a Wiki|Add it to WikiIndex!]].  That should automatically put the wiki in the "All" category.  Thank you.
