Should figure out the URL and add it to the article somewhere. I think it might be https://ruwiki.ru/ but I do not want to add it yet in case it's wrong/original research. Can anyone confirm? – Novem Linguae ( talk) 21:19, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
According to the Telegraph article, "The creation of the new service [...] was announced by a State Duma deputy from Putin’s political party." Is this Gorelkin, who previously referred to the creation of an 'ruwiki' in May? — The Anome ( talk) 22:44, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
I don’t speak Russian, but I think that a section that compares the differences in articles between the two projects would be useful. Victor Grigas ( talk) 23:03, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
A quick IP lookup and WHOIS search shows that Ruwiki indeed appears to be hosted in Russia, and that the netblock containing its servers is registered to "Autonomous non-profit organization Internet-encyclopedia RUWIKI; 125040, g. Moskva, Leningradskiy prospekt, 15-14", and routed via qrator.net (see https://bgp.he.net/AS197068)
Fascinatingly, unless I'm reading it wrong, "dig ns ruwiki.ru" suggests their DNS is hosted by Cloudflare. — The Anome ( talk) 10:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Should the page include something about Medeyko's ban from WMF projects, as reported in
the current Signpost (but obviously citing other sources)? It does seem notable to ban someone for Long-term abuse: creating a Wikipedia fork which includes stolen content from Commons as well
. It raises issues about whether it is possible to "steal" content from an open source, as opposed to not complying with licence conditions such as attribution, and it is most unusual for anyone to be blocked or banned for reading rather than editing Wikipedia.

The result of the move request was: moved to Ruwiki (Wikipedia fork). This RM proved to be a WP:NOTCURRENTTITLE situation: most participants agreed that a move was desirable, but the diversity of suggested destinations prevented opinions from coalescing around any specific one. Ruwiki and Ruwiki (Wikipedia fork) attracted the most significant support and conversation; about these two proposals, the discussion largely hinged on the question of whether the fork should be considered the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Ruwiki. On the pro-PTOPIC side, it was noted that Google search results for "Ruwiki" predominantly point to the fork rather than to Russian Wikipedia; on the anti-PTOPIC side, sources were leveled to show that the "??wiki" abbreviation pattern was used in academic literature about different languages' Wikipedias. I don't see this question as having resulted in consensus, and in the absence of consensus for a primary topic, I believe it best to assume that no topic is primary. Consequently, I believe that a move to the disambiguated title is most aligned with the will of the discussion and the relevant policies.

Ruwiki (website) → ? – (website) fails to disambiguate - Russian Wikipedia is also a website. "Ruwiki (fork)"? "2023 Russian Wikipedia fork"? * Pppery * it has begun... 17:55, 22 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky ( talk) 06:09, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Someone
moved the page to
Ruwiki (wiki). The wiki
disambiguation seems useless; both this Ruwiki and
the other Ruwiki are wikis. Therefore, the disambiguation adds nothing compared to having only Ruwiki
as the title. Am I the only one who finds the title ambiguous? The title Ruwiki (wiki)
should in my opinion either not exist or be a redirect to the disambiguation page
Ruwiki, and this should be moved to a title which is not ambiguous. --
