[[WikiIndex talk:Community portal#We need to have a community discussion about Nathania.2FNathan Larson.2FUser:Leucosticte]]. Honestly, this has really been weighing on me and I am extremely uncomfortable with this content. I know we've spoken about it before but I finally took some rogue admin action about it and deleted some of the links to content about CP. I can't handle it. We shouldn't be linking to that material here or allowing someone to overrun this site with niche vanity wikis. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 06:08, 21 November 2014 (UTC) | |||

Mark, I agree that your input on this would be useful. Some clarity is needed on whether this project is open to listing every wiki, or whether there's going to be some restriction on scope. No clear standard has been set as to what content isn't allowed, other than obvious linkspam to non-wiki websites, and I think that previously the door has been wide open to covering the whole wikisphere, and that that is how the situation should remain. The vast majority of WikiIndex deals with niche wikis, and that includes a handful of vanity wikis, aka blikis.

:::::I see. So, new users with real names immediately go to main space without them even requesting it? How Do You konw they are using real names? I think it should be made policy to A: ask new users if they names are real and B ask them if they are willing to appear in main namespace. Users obviously using pseudos should be asked if the like to change to real name or if they like to get additional real name page in name space as well.

Hi Mark. Just found a comment you made back in 2011 about [http://ross.typepad.com/blog/2011/07/brands-in-google-plus.html#comment-6a00d8341cd8a453ef014e89bf7ce4970d web advertising on GooglePlus], and your clear preference of having an 'off' button for the [[:Category:Advertising|ads]]. This ties in with recent thoughts of my own, following my discovery that WikiIndex has a [[:Category:Google|Google AdSense]] account set up, but not currently enabled. I noticed that our MediaWiki config allows us to have the ads displaying for Anon users and [[IP editor]]s, but can also turn off the ads once logged in. This is actually an identical modus operandi which many other wikis use - both independent and major [[wiki farm]]s such as [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] and the former [[:Category:Wikkii|Wikkii]]. | Hi Mark.
