: I like this idea. | |||
: Let the people at that wiki update their own information, without having to come over to the unfamiliar-to-them WikiIndex. | |||
: So are you saying that, after the people at that wiki update their version of the page, sometime later the page about that wiki at WikiIndex would be completely replaced with their version? | |||
: Initially this could be done manually ... and it shouldn't be too difficult for anyone to create a "bot" that would do this if the remote wiki uses the MediaWiki syntax. (A little bit harder to translate if the remote wiki uses some other syntax). | |||
: Although I think it is a good idea, and I don't see any reason not to start implementing it right away, I have a few minor questions: | |||
: What happens when the remote wiki temporarily goes offline? | |||
: What happens if the wiki (or just its Wiki Index page) is temporarily read-only, and someone wants to write a comment on WikiIndex about it (perhaps about the fact that it is temporarily read-only)? | |||
: Each WikiNode begins with a brief description of the wiki it is on, and most pages here at WikiIndex also have a brief description of the wiki. Would it make sense to re-use the standard WikiNode page for this purpose, rather that inventing another standard name and trying to maintain several versions of the description? | |||
