:::: One can fill any value one imagines. That in itself is good, because one may encounter engines unknown before. But I think it is the most common case that one has no idea what the engine is (besides Wikia and unaltered MediaWiki). So empty we do not want to have it. Also we do not want to have a collection of {'no idea', 'unknown', 'UnknownEngine'; 'YourWikiEngine', ...} Therefore I think it is better to set a default like 'YourWikiEngine'. To suggest this is the the least.[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 00:43, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

:::::To be frank, I think our listing of [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] is arguably the most comprehensive (I mean in terms of listing, maybe not in terms of detail of each engine), so I think it unlikely we have missed out any.  That isn't to say we have a crystal ball!! – of course new engines crop up now and then, but we are generally quite swift in adding them here.  [[WikiMatrix]] is another good resource for wiki engine listing – it has considerably more in-depth detail on some engines, but it has many not listed.[[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 20:15, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

I was not complaining about a lack of items in that list, not at all. This is in no way my point. Rather I wanted to prevent useless entries in this list. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 01:04, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
