:Each WikiNode begins with a brief description of the wiki it is on, and most pages here at WikiIndex also have a brief description of the wiki. Would it make sense to re-use the standard WikiNode page for this purpose, rather that inventing another standard name and trying to maintain several versions of the description? | :Each WikiNode begins with a brief description of the wiki it is on, and most pages here at WikiIndex also have a brief description of the wiki.

I would ''not'' duplicate WikiIndex stuff to the indexed wikis. A page on each wiki with the title <tt>WikiIndex</tt> would be enough. Each active contributor of the remote wiki can skip to WikiIndex and check if updates to the WikiIndex entry are needed. Maybe we could provide a [[:Category: | I would ''not'' duplicate WikiIndex stuff to the indexed wikis. A page on each wiki with the title <tt>WikiIndex</tt> would be enough. Each active contributor of the remote wiki can skip to WikiIndex and check if updates to the WikiIndex entry are needed. Maybe we could provide a [[:Category:Boilerplate|boilerplate]] for the remote WikiIndex articles (maybe in the remote [[:Category:Wiki syntax|wiki syntax]], one for each [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]]) and they can copy 'n' paste. The content of the page should be mainly on WikiIndex and some infos on the entry there (=here!). We could introduce a [[backlink]] on each WikiIndex article if the described wiki has a link to it. We could start with some pages in [[:Category:OpenEdit|open edit]] wikis. Step by step they will "get" it, and the rest will be done distributed (I hope so). --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 02:30, 4 October 2007 (EDT) | ||

::A suggestion: Give the page name a '''Meta:''' prefix. Having a [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespace]] for such data would be, IMO, a good solution. Even better would be to support the '''$(Wiki name):''' prefix, but that might be asking too much. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 21:41, 4 October 2007 (EDT) | ::A suggestion: Give the page name a '''Meta:''' prefix.
