Inclusion criteria
The above is more than an arbitrary list of sites. Sister projects in the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) are preferred. Failing that, sites should have their own Wikipedia article and meet some combination of the following criteria to be listed:
- Policies consistent with the spirit of WMF goals
- Allow content to be moved over verbatim (e.g., CC BY-SA-compatible or GFDL-compatible)
- A wiki, or like a wiki
