WikiIndex:Prohibited content: Difference between revisions

The goal of {{tag|WikiIndex}} is to create an index the [[:Category:All|entire]] [[wikisphere]], and in most cases that means creating an article for a [[wiki]] site, providing external links to it, and reproducing some of its copy to allow that wiki community to explain itself and its goals.  Sometimes, a wiki will have content that is dangerous for linking, or which hosts illegal content, or both.  It may still be appropriate to ''document'' these wikis here on WikiIndex, but without providing direct links to them, or reproduction of their content.  Examples of types wikis that should not be directly linked include:

;Doxing sites:  Doxing is the practice of revealing someone's [[:Category:Personal|private]] information (or documents) for the purpose of revenge, prankery, defaming, etc.  In many cases this is illegal as well.  Outing someone's private information is most effective when that information gets traffic, links, indexing by search engines, etc.  Sites which attempt to provide stolen credit card numbers, forged passports, or out private citizens are inappropriate.

;Malware:  Sites which host malicious [[:Category:Software|software]] that can damage a user's computer simply by visiting the site, or which host software that is designed to damage a computer or surveil a user through deception (e.g. pretending to offer downloads of a popular and safe web browser but really offering up spyware) should not be linked.  Some wikis which have been sufficiently [[:Category:Spammed|spammed]] may also fall under this criterion.
