I would ''not'' duplicate wikiindex stuff to the indexed wikis. A page on each wiki with the title <tt>WikiIndex</tt> would be enough. Each active contributor of the remote wiki can skip to wikiindex and check if updates to the wikiindex entry are needed. Maybe we could provide a boilerplate for the remote wikiindex articles (maybe in the remote wiki syntax, one for each [[:category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]]) and they can copy 'n' paste. The content of the page should be mainly on wikiindex and some infos on the entry there (=here!). We could introduce a backlink on each wikiindex article if the described wiki has a link to it. We could start with some pages in open edit wikis. Step by step they will "get" it, and the rest will be done distributed (I hope so). --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 02:30, 4 October 2007 (EDT) | I would ''not'' duplicate wikiindex stuff to the indexed wikis.

::A suggestion: Give the page name a '''Meta:''' prefix. Having a namespace for such data would be, IMO, a good solution. Even better would be to support the '''$(Wiki name):''' prefix, but that might be asking too much. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 21:41, 4 October 2007 (EDT) | |||

I am not sure I understand what is being suggested here. With respect to maintaining the wiki pages in WikiIndex up-to-date I suspect the onus is on the owners of the wiki sites. I say this because as far as I know WikiIndex is not 'automatic' (unlike [http://www.editthis.info/wiki/Main_Page]); people have to actively create a page for their wiki site in WikiIndex. Secondly, it would be good to copy the bot used by the guys at S23 (see for example [http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php?sort=good_desc,total_desc&th=100&lines=2026]). They collect the raw stats each day to update their lists. This model could be used by WikiIndex in order to keep the 'wiki_pages' parameter as accurate as possible. --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User_talk:Spud_Gun |talk]]) 04:59, 4 October 2007 (EDT) | I am not sure I understand what is being suggested here.
