That's what [http://wikipedia.org/ wikipedia] is for (And it's very good at it. Check it out if you haven't done so already!) On this wiki every page is a page describing a wiki, with the exception of a few 'meta' pages like this one, which provide supporting information about the task of building WikiIndex. | ||
* '''WikiIndex is not a website directory''' - We are indexing (or making a directory of) wiki websites. Not just any website. It has to be a website powered by wiki software. Although we may be interested in other websites, e.g. websites with articles about wikis, these do not appear as listings in this index (with their own page, added to categories etc). If you want to list your website on a wiki, check out [http://wikidweb.com wikidweb.com] . If a website listed here, does not appear to be powered by wiki software, you may have found a page which we should delete, however we do list [[:Category:ReadOnly| read only wikis]] where the wiki software may not be immediately aparent. | * '''WikiIndex is not a website directory''' - We are indexing (or making a directory of) wiki websites.
