On another note, you have a few big wikis (like [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]), where people have added comments about how the wiki works. If you have a very complex wiki - and a [[:Category:Wiki farm|wiki farm]] is a good example, it might be easier for visitors to have the basic stuff on a normal page (in the main namespace) and then use a bespoke namespace (in this case Wikia:) to dump all the other stuff. A Wikia namespace, could be used for creating various lists of Wikia wikis by different categories. It could also be used for creating something like a page that explains how people go about requesting a Wikia wiki*.

''* = To counterpoint this sort of embedded specialist advice (for specific wiki farms), the main namespace could have a page that explains how to download and install each type of [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki software]] (or at least, how to find the information elsewhere). So as well as listing [[:Category:All|all the wikis]] in the [[:Category:Global|world]], you could also help people to start their own [[wiki]] (or sign up with any wiki farm in the world). I think a comparison of how various [[:Category:Wiki syntax|wiki code]] works may also be something that helps people to decide how helpful various [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] could be to them.''
