WikiIndex is the wiki of wikis. It is an effort to create a complete directory of wiki websites out there on the Internet, with a description of each wiki and various systems of categorisation. We want to help people find the kinds of wikis they are most interested in and to map out the Internet-wide wiki landscape.

What WikiIndex is not
WikiIndex is not an encyclopedia - If you've seen Wikipedia.org, you'll recognise the MediaWiki software that this site uses. Wiki software allows you to create pages and interlink topics very easily, but here we are only interested in creating pages of a particular type; we are not building an encyclopedia. That's what Wikipedia is for. (And it's very good at it. Check it out if you haven't done so already!) On this wiki every regular page (i.e. every page in the main namespace) is a page describing a wiki or a wiki person. Generally, administrative "meta" pages like this one, which provide supporting information about the task of building WikiIndex, are in the "project" namespace, so people wanting to browse by using the "random page" button will find wikis or people, not instructions or discussions.
