: p.s.: Is there a category that means "wiki-on-wiki conversation is on-topic", so I can tag [[WikiSpeedia]] and [[MeatballWiki]] and [[CommunityWiki.org]] and [[MediaWiki]] and other appropriate pages here with that category? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 09:30, 1 February 2011 (PST) | : p.s.: Is there a category that means "wiki-on-wiki conversation is on-topic", so I can tag [[WikiSpeedia]] and [[MeatballWiki]] and [[CommunityWiki.org]] and [[MediaWiki]] and other appropriate pages here with that category? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 09:30, 1 February 2011 (PST) | ||
:: A central web site for everything related to Wikis is extremely necessary. I just found WikiIndex today and it looks like the best place for that. Too bad that it took me more than 1 year to find it... One weakness at Wikipedia is that it doesn't have a web forum. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump Village Pump] is good, but far from good enough. It's practically impossible to follow an idea posted weeks ago (there are archives for each day - for example [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2007_November_24 2007_November_24]). That's why a forum is required. A forum for everything related to Wiki. On a forum it is possible to write on the same thread even after weeks, months and years from the last post, coming with a creative and valuable answer or idea. The forum should have sub-forums for ''mediawiki and for other wiki engines'', another one for ''wiki farms'', another one for ''wikis by category'', another one for ''ideas for new wikis'' where people can search for partners to start new wikis with, another one for ''technical hep'', and so on. For example, I need to translate a template like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Columns-list to my own wiki and I don't know how to do it. Many other mediawiki users need some basic templates for their wikis and they don't know how to get them. That's why WikiSpeedia can be so helpful. It's extremely important to have a central hub for all wiki users and experts. [[User:WikiFan|WikiFan]] 20:34, 1 November 2011 (PDT) | |||
