I think that the present guidelines present a problem with naming articles for [[:Category:Wikimedia|Wikimedia]] wikis and any similar wikis. | I think that the present guidelines present a problem with naming articles for [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia]] wikis and any similar wikis. https://www.Wikipedia.org, for example, is just a gateway to wikipedias in over 120 languages. The [[Wikipedia]] article should be a general overview of those Wikipedias. I think there should also be [[WikiIndex]] articles on at least the Top 10 or Top 20 Wikipedias. For this to happen, the article names should probably be the Wiki's URL (minus <tt><nowiki>http://</nowiki></tt>), so the article for the English-language Wikipedia would be at 'en.wikipedia.org', the Japanese-languages Wikipedia would be at 'ja.wikipedia.org', etc. [[User:BlankVerse|BlankVerse]] 05:23, 16 Mar 2006 (EST) | ||

I think I messed up with [[Near-Time]] and [[StikiPad]]. They are technically not wiki -- they are '[[wiki farm]]s' that allow lots of people to set up lots of wiki.

So ... to be consistent with what people seem to already be doing, (such as [[:Category:TaoRiver]] and 'Pbwiki' which redirects to [[:Category:PBwiki]]), should we "move" (rename) them into the Category: namespace, a sub-category of [[:Category:WikiFarm]]? | ||
I expected the people who set up Near-Time and StikiPad -- obviously familiar with how wonderful wiki are -- to have a prominent link to a wiki holding FAQs about that host. I am a bit surprised that not only is there no prominent link, I can't even find an obscure link. I'm starting to suspect -- maybe there is no wiki about Near-Time or StikiPad? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 23:17, 15 October 2006 (EDT) | I expected the people who set up Near-Time and StikiPad -- obviously familiar with how wonderful wiki are -- to have a prominent link to a wiki holding FAQs about that host.
