Search for the wiki site, to | [[Special:Search|Search]] here on this {{tag|WikiIndex}} wiki for the actual {{tag|wiki}} site you have an interest with, to ascertain if that wiki is already listed here. We already have quite a [[:Category:All|big index]]. Try some alternate names of your wiki site (e.g. with or without the word 'wiki' on the end). If you find your site listed here, there is no need to add it again! Just [[edit]] the existing information, or maybe create a [[redirect]] page! | ||
If your wiki site is <u>not</u> listed here on WikiIndex, go to [[#Step 3 – create the new wiki article page|step 3]] to add your wiki site by creating a new [[article]] page for it. | |||

[[Special: | Regarding the logo for your wiki site, please use [[#Step 1 – check if it's already listed here|step 1]] again to search for its logo or wordmark. However, please prefix your term in the search box with <tt>File:</tt> – to ensure you search only for [[Special:ListFiles|existing files]]. You may also search via the [[Special:Log/upload|files upload log]], or maybe the logo was [[Special:Log/delete|deleted]]. All wiki logos ''should'' be included in [[:category: WikiLogo]], or any of its sub-categories; though it is important to note that many logo files have not been categorised. | ||
If your logo is not listed here on WikiIndex, you may use the [[Special:Upload|upload]] function, but you must be logged in. Please ensure you also use the {{Template|WikiLogoOf}} which will auto-categorise your logo accordingly; specifically: <code><nowiki>{{WikiLogoOf|page name of wiki article}}</nowiki></code>. | |||
