This is an article which compares features drawn directly in the main from primary sources to create a novel comparison of wiki farms, most of which do not (and will never) have entries due to isses with notability. It's not a navigaitonal list or category, it's a reviewer's guide, something outwith the remit of Wikipedia, being a kind of "howto". Guy ( Help!) 21:56, 15 January 2009 (UTC) reply
Comment. I think the problem is that WP:LISTS is not clear about inclusion criteria for freeware, shareware, free hosting, and other computer-related lists. The wiki farm topic is notable, but there are only a few notable wiki farms. Notable in print media, mainstream media, and the normal places for WP:RS. So I think I will discuss this over time at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software/Free Software, WP:LISTS, Wikipedia:Village pump (policy), etc..
Maybe we can get a policy on how many entries can be in a notable computer-related list before inclusion criteria must be implemented, and what those inclusion criteria might be. Otherwise, arbitrary numbers will be used to limit list entries. Many times some very complete well-charted, notable, computer-related lists have been cut down from 30, 40, 50 entries to 10 big commercial software programs, hosts, etc.. An idea might be to limit computer-related lists to 50 separate entries. Comparison of wiki farms has 49 separate entries according to my paste of the list into the freeware NoteTab Light. It can count the lines or paragraphs in a list. I like the idea of using the Alexa number to keep the list under 50 entries. We can't include all wiki farms in the list. I agree with that. On the other hand I don't want nothing but 10 big companies like Wikia that managed to get mainstream media coverage. That would be unfair, and not very useful to readers. I like Wikia, and I am a volunteer admin there, by the way. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 12:55, 19 January 2009 (UTC) reply
