'''Deletion''' I deleted this page as it was about a football club rather than a [[wiki]]. This is a wiki about wikis, so porting articles from [[English Wikipedia]] will probably be inappropriate. Please let me know if I can help you around here. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 09:47, 31 July 2015 (PDT) | |||

::'''Content''' The problem isn't porting from Wikipedia (that is actually allowed by their copyright) but the fact that this wiki is not about football clubs: it is about other wikis. Why do you want to add this article here?

'''Comment''' I have seen a couple of football clubs mentioned on here. I just would like to create the article because I think it will be a good article. Wikipedia have not been very accommodating whatsoever. I like the lay out of this site and I hope you can accommodate the article.

:'''Football clubs''' I'd be interested in seeing the other football club articles that you've mentioned. I am also an editor at Wikipedia and would be happy to help you contribute to that site.

'''Comment''' - | '''Comment''' - [[Doncaster Rovers Football Club Wiki]]. Wikipedia deleted my page because we hadn't played at level 10 on the football pyramid. Out of order tbh. Can you let me do this article or not? | ||

This is a good conversation for thinking about what a [[wiki]] is. Let me give it a go, a wiki is a community software that is usually built around a single / limited number [[:Category:Wiki Topic|topic(s)]]. The topic of [[WikiIndex]] is [[:Category:All|Wiki]] itself and Wikipedia's topic is to be [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedic]], so they have rules about what you can put over there. But the rules are usually pretty easy to figure out. The draft link is a great place to start, people will step in and help you if you are serious and on the easier side to work with online. | |||
Wonder what it says over at [[WhatIsWiki]]? Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||
