'''Category: ReadOnly''' — the [[wiki]] sites listed in this '''read-only''' {{tag|Wiki Edit Mode|edit-mode}} [[Special:Categories|category]] here on WikiIndex can not be [[edit]]ed by anyone; except the wiki sites' system operators ([[Sysop|SysOps]]). These wikis deny [[user]]s the one thing that makes wikis special. Despite the 'wiki' format and [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki software]], they fundamentally function like an ordinary website, where users are only able to read someone else's opinion. Users can not change anything that they feel is wrong or factually incorrect, or add anything that they know or feel can improve the site; however, some read-only wiki sites ''may'' be facilitate direct contact to the SysOps via e-mail offering suggestions or alterations to existing articles. | '''Category: ReadOnly''' — the [[wiki]] sites listed in this '''read-only''' {{tag|Wiki Edit Mode|edit-mode}} [[Special:Categories|category]] here on WikiIndex can not be [[edit]]ed by anyone; except the wiki sites' system operators ([[Sysop|SysOps]]).

In fact, [[SwitchWiki]] (the predecessor to WikiIndex) only listed [[:Category:OpenEdit|open-edit]] wiki sites. However, there may be very valid reasons why a wiki is set to read-only; one such scenario may be a wiki which was created as an editable wiki for a forthcoming [[:Category:Conference|conference]], and then '[[:Category:Locked|locked]]' to read-only following the conclusion of said conference. Other reasons for read-only wiki sites could be when the original scope or [[:Category:Wiki Topic|subject matter]] has shifted away, the [[owner]] of the wiki has [[:Category: | Many [[:Category:Wiki People|people]], including [[:Category:Active contributors to this wiki|folks]] here at [[WikiIndex]] think these websites are not true wikis!
