Thanks, Neil!  I think this is a very useful distinction.

Hey everyone!

As you probably know, the Wikimedia cluster includes not just "normal" wikis like English Wikipedia and Albanian Wiktionary, but odd ones like the Wikimedia Belgium chapter website, Test Wikidata, and the English Wikipedia Working Group on Ethnic and Cultural Edit Wars wiki.

As far as I know, however, there's no standard definition of "normal" wiki to use when doing analysis.

So I've started meta:Research:Wiki with draft definitions of "public wikis" and "content wikis", along with some initial documentation about wiki metadata (names, project groups, etc.) which I plan to continue to work on.

I encourage you to edit or comment on the talk page!
