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 https://be.wikimedia.org, Test Wikidata https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page, and the English Wikipedia Working Group on Ethnic and Cultural Edit Wars wiki https://wg-en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page.
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 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/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!
Thanks, Neil! I think this is a very useful distinction. -J

Hello everyone,
I think a wiki can be identified by site name as well. For example, when I talk about English Wikipedia, everybody know I'm talking about enwiki aka en.wikipedia.org.
This applies to non-content wikis as well, Wikimania 2018 is a way how to identify wikimania2018wiki aka wikimania2018.wikimedia.org.
However, I'm not sure if this way should be included in the document Neil wrote or not. I'm just writing it here, to be dicsused, included or abandoned.
Martin

Besides the existing Meta-wiki page that Nemo seems to prefer, it might be also worth reviewing and comparing the standard definition used for readership data (pageviews, unique devices...), which I believe is encoded at [1]. And perhaps also the conceptual work that originally went into it [2] (although I believe we since deviated from it by e.g. including chapter wikis in the pageview data).
