 – Moot, and off-target to begin with.

Would Google Base [1]be a good alternative outlet? 168.209.98.35 19:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Databases aren't wikis. Google has it's own ostensible WP competitor now (actually more of a competitor to AllExperts.com and similar sites). Flagging this topic as resolved. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 14:10, 6 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Merge and Spinout Pinging @Koavf and Soumya-8974: in case you want to perform the merger (non-admin closure) --Trialpears (talk) 17:44, 10 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Other projects similar to Wikipedia This page includes the September 11 Memorial wiki and many of the other alternatives which are on this page. We should have one section for things which are not general interest encyclopedias but which could support them, one for topic-specific encyclopedias, and one for alternative encyclopedia wikis (all I can think of is citizendium:, ELibre:, encyc, and wikinfo:--any others?) —Justin (koavf)TCM 02:16, 4 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Or both: link to an article and an external link. Thanks, Bio. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 20:43, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Merge and spinout per Koavf. —Yours sincerely, Soumyabrata (contributionssubpages) 10:33, 25 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

If you wonder which page ended up to be the spinout separate page, like I did, it seems that this is it: Wikipedia:Directory of alternative outlets. Betty (talk) 07:16, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Suggesting Miraheze as an alternative wiki

edit

I am deeply involved with Wikiversity, and am beginning to use Miraheze.org. Efforts to get Miraheze on sites like Comparison of wiki hosting services have proven proven problematic. Most of these efforts were done not by myself, but by others affiliated with Miraheze. But now my own efforts on Miraheze.org have raised my COI status to the point where I should not touch a WP article on this subject, beyond putting it on a talk page like this. I have a private node of wikis where my students can write anything they want: Only Miraheze administrators, myself, and a student on the wiki can see anything beyond the first page. Please consider mentioning this option at:

@Legoktm: However, the OP might refer to a specific Miraheze wiki and not the whole site. My proposal is to add Miraheze as a whole to this page (which might be the same as OP/yours), which currently is not popular (but it doesn't mean it is not recommended) and this proposal to add interwiki links to MH wikis is currently being discussed at the talk page about interwiki links on Wikimedia Meta-Wiki. 36.72.46.16 (talk) 07:47, 17 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion: gerontology.wikia.com

edit

Due to the cleanup of super-centenarians on WP, I suggest that this be added:

Wikipedia is not a(n)... ... so try this instead
Super-centenarian site gerontology.wikia.com

Since Wikia and Wikipedia have compatible licences, there should be no problem having the "contents related to longevity that have been removed from WP due to policies" copied to Wikia. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 03:29, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
