Talk:Forked wikis

Number of active users

 * How to count them? Those signed in moving discussion or just a number from Special:Statistics? (last one includes even those who did one vandal edit last month). 13:32, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can use Special:ListUsers and select "Contributed 100 times or more" for a rough guideline. ~Michael von Preußen
 * Then all counts in this table must be calculated using this method. Also, is it good to write "200 users are leaving" when 30 only signed in "leave or not" voting? Wikia may then say "you see, you don't represent the community, the majority wants to stay on Wikia". Even if this "majority" was inactive for years and did exactly 100 edits. :-( 19:14, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Linking support
Every moved wiki is encouraged to add invisible links (without rel=nofollow) to all the others (e.g. via interwiki links on 2-4 pages). Thus we will help each other to recover our positions in the search engines. Google likes sites that are linked to, you know. 19:22, October 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added such links to Absurdopedia. 19:40, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * Does Google really like invisible links?
 * See http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/User:Paxed/Vector_adlink for example code how to link a random wiki in the footer of all pages. --Tjr 20:52, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

A small SEO tip
Don't place them all at one page. Better add them to several pages in one-click from the mainpage: 3-4 links for each. Especially good if there're no interwikis there. 17:41, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

This thing's width is obnoxiously big
I can't even get the full page to fit on MONACO. Is the number of active users thing necessary? Way too much info. And don't tell me to get a bigger screen.  --Havoc '48   21:44, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

PokeFanon Wiki
While the whole wiki hasn't been moved, my pages on the Pokemon Fanon Wiki (Wikia) have been moved to a new site here on ShoutWiki. I'm in the process of trying to delete my pages on Wikia.--BlueSilver 20:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

rename to "moved wikis"
Can I suggest renaming this to Moved wikis? Anno1404 22:46, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
