Talk:Gazetteer of wikis

Criterios
Hola, ¿cuáles son los criterios mínimos para agregar una wiki? apenas estoy trabajando en un proyecto de enciclopedia cristiana y estoy pensando que debe añadirse. --UnCristiano (talk) 22:33, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Está bien, no hay requisitos, pero añádelo con una descripción breve como los demás. 22:52 16-Feb-2018  PD--Si vas a escribir este wiki en español, deberías mencionar ésto porque es inusual.   22:57 16-Feb-2018
 * Añadido Spike the Dog. ¿así está bien o se podría de otra forma? porque también existe otra wiki con el mismo tema. --UnCristiano (talk) 23:19, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Bueno, yo alistaré ambos, y en una nueva categoria en vez de "Other."  23:43 16-Feb-2018

Special:WikiDiscover
Can't see SDIY wiki in Special:WikiDiscover? --Rob Kam (talk) 09:34, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If you search through all of the wikis, the wiki is there, it's just uncategorized. You need to go on Special:ManageWiki on SDIY Wiki and change the category the wiki is in. CoolieCoolster (talk) 11:44, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks. --Rob Kam (talk) 12:25, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's how it's done! My two are uncategorized.  But "Sofware" and "Miliary" are misspelled, and I'd like a category of "Humor".   14:56 14-May-2018

Karnia-Ruthenia isn't fictional, so the category of the Libertian Archive is wrong.
Hi everybody,

Karnia-Ruthenia is not a "fictional empire", but a micronation, an entity that claims to be an independent nation or state but is not recognized by world governments or major international organizations. To explain, I'll directly quote the Wikipedia article on micronations:
 * They should also be distinguished from imaginary countries and from other kinds of social groups (such as eco-villages, campuses, tribes, clans, sects, and residential community associations) by expressing a formal and persistent, even if unrecognized, claim of sovereignty over some physical territory. Micronations are also distinct from true secessionist movements; micronations' activities are almost always trivial enough to be ignored rather than challenged by the established nations whose territory they claim.

I believe the category of "other reference sites on a field of activity", better fits the description of a micronation without the immediate jump to it being called fictional.

Policy category
I'd like to create a category to put Electowiki into. The wiki is about electoral systems. I can think of three candidates for a new category name:


 * Government
 * Policy
 * Politics

...but I'm open to suggestions. My preferred option of the three is "Policy", but any would do. Any favorites from anyone else? Also, once we settle on something, how do I go about creating it? -- RobLa (talk) 03:58, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Alphabetical Order of entries of Gazetteer
Hi, I see that some of the lists in Gazetteer are not in alphabetical order. I want to redistribute the lists using the alphabetical order in the wikiurl.For example: Electronics
 * Synth DIY Wiki is about making, modifying, or repairing electronic musical instruments and related equipment.
 * Simple Electronics Wiki is a series of tutorials for entry-level electronics.


 * Using the Wikiurl criterion, mh:sdiy goes before: ``mh:simpleelectronics``.
 * Using the Wiki title criterion, Simple Electronics Wiki goes before Synth DIY Wiki.

Maybe some exceptions can be made, like: Reference sites on a field of activity -> Other
 * The Holidays Wiki is a wiki about holidays in the United States.
 * The Multilingual Encyclopedia is a multilingual encyclopedia.
 * Mywikipedia is a wiki concerning all manner of topics.

In this case: Holidays goes first, TME goes second (despite having a T), and My wikipedia goes third. This use "title" Holiday, Multilingual, Mywikipedia.

Also it helps putting similar wikis close. Like: Other types of wikis
 * Test Wiki is a wiki on which everyone can be an administrator. It lets users test the MediaWiki software, including its administrative tools.
 * Test Wiki in Spanish is the Spanish version of Test Wiki. It has the same functions as the English version.

If i follow Wikiurl order here, Prueba goes first, but the two are test wikis. So i think is ok if both are put near. --Avengium (talk) 11:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * New edit
 * i'm going to edit Gazetteer in alphabetical order.

Closed wikis
So I noticed that closed wikis are removed from the list, but they may be adopted or reopened at some point and have to be re-added to the list. How about moving closed wikis to a seperate section called "Closed wikis" so anyone who is interested in adopting them can file a request for adoption? For anyone who opposes this on the grounds that "Closed wikis don't exist," hear me out. Technically, closed wikis still exist, but they can't be edited. And if anyone who adopts the wiki (or an admin) reopens it, the wiki can be moved out of the "Closed wikis" section. Tali64³ (talk) 19:54, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
