Just noticed that the link to the Anti-Wikia Alliance currently goes to what seems to be some type of phishing scam...thing (not sure what you'd call it) on certain browsers like Google Chrome. Could someone replace that link with one that specifically doesn't do that, like this one, perhaps? http://awa.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Anti-Wikia_Alliance

We should not include Miraheze's Reception Wikis.

Noticing that there's a wiki for wikis (Wiki Index), there's quite an obvious series of questions that follow:

- Is there a wiki for wikis about wikis? - Is there then a wiki for wikis that contain an article about themselves? - Is there then a wiki for wikis that do not contain an article about themselves? - Does this last wiki have an article about itself?

If not, there should be. If someone decides to make one, this page would be a good resource.

As far as I know, there's no wiki for wikis about wikis. There's only Wiki Index, which catalogs other wikis, as well as other wiki (mostly random) pages about wikis, as well as wiki sites linking to other wiki articles (including Wikipedia... sometimes). One could probably make a sort of Wiki Index on wikia, or a tool for pages that catalogue wikis, but I'm not too much in the mood of doing that myself.

I request we just sort them by Wikia/Non-Wikia for ease of browsing.

...Especially since Wikia sucks nowadays.

...and it would be it to tell apart.

...so I won't have to keep using ctrl-f.

...and also sort by number of articles.

...Anyone? Please. I just had a bad day because I keep having bad memories of Wikia & I think it would make me feel a bit better if you did what I said above!

Dunno if this is really appropriate to add to the page, but there was a time before The Wiki Rule was in effect, and in those days Wikipedia was even more full of odd stuff — for example the massive amount of Pokemon and Star Trek detail that could be found on Wikipedia before it ended up on Bulbapedia and Memory Alpha.

Edit: noticed that Fannage is a page. Related in that The Wiki Rule and Fannage are opposing/complementary forces :)

You can add that to the page description here.
