Wikipedia:WikiNode

the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

A WikiNode is a standard page that shows how a wiki relates to other wiki projects and communities on the Web. It is part of the WikiNodes Project,^{[dead link]} (Archive.org version) which aims to create a fabric among wikis, allowing users to traverse "Wikiland" via topically related links.

This is the WikiNode for the English Wikipedia. If you are a newcomer, please visit our Welcome page and enjoy your stay!
