We think every wiki needs a page (called "WikiNode") that briefly describes the wiki and the top 7 or so closely related wiki. | |||
Why do you want a WikiNode on your wiki? | |||
* It gives you a third choice: rather than letting off-topic pages accumulate (taking your wiki in a direction you don't want it to go), or deleting not-quite-on-topic pages (angering your users), you can move such a page to some other wiki where it is more on-topic. | |||
* Sometimes people write wonderful articles that you would love to have on your wiki. But because those people didn't know about your wiki, they post their article on some other wiki, where it is not-quite-on-topic. The WikiNode network helps that person (or some other person at that wiki) find out about your wiki and move that article to your wiki -- rather than letting that wonderful article be deleted and lost forever. | |||
