 A '''WikiIndex entry''' is a [[article]] page here on {{tag|WikiIndex}} that has factual, and ''ideally'' [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedic]] information on it.  A well-written entry identifies a {{tag|wiki}} site, {{tag|Wiki People|wiki person}}, {{tag|Wiki engine|wiki software}} application, {{tag|Wiki farm|wiki 'farm'}} (hosting provider), or {{tag|wiki idea}}; and summarizes that [[:Category:Wiki Topic|topic]] comprehensively.  All article pages about individual [[WhatIsWiki|wiki sites]] will be found in the 'main' [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespace]], as will wiki people articles.  However, dependent on their actual propagation within the wider [[wikisphere]], articles on wiki software and wiki hosts may be found in either the main or the [[category]] namespace.
-ALL articles about our core interest (wiki sites, wiki software, wiki farms, and wiki people) <u>must</u> be supported by their appropriate [[:Category:Infobox template|infobox]].  Most article entries consist of paragraphs of [[Cambridge-Dictionary:prose|prose]], and may also include [[:Category:Images|images]]; they may also be formatted as stand-alone [[:Category:Wiki lists|lists]], or tables.  These lists or tables are also considered entries for WikiIndex's purposes.  It is preferred that all articles contain references to reliable sources (especially on wiki sites which may be, or contain contentious subject matter); and being as this is a wiki, it is important to have [[Wikilink|links]] to other related topics.

 ;''What it should contain
 A WikiIndex article entry should contain a description and brief history of the [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] site, in order to provide a relatively [[:Category:NPOV|neutral]] account that can survive the wiki's going [[:Category:Dead|defunct]].
-Not all of the content need be objective and [[Cambridge-Dictionary:empirical|empirical]], though.  Casual discussion of a community's norms and values may end up being less encyclopedic and more conversational; this is fine.  Article entries of wiki sites here in WikiIndex should not exist for the sole purpose of defaming or promoting a site, though: this is neither free hosting space for other wiki communities, nor is it a message board for gripes and sniping about problems with other wikis.
