WikiApiary talk:MyWikis

Hostlist?

Hello, what is a hostlist? I'd be glad to help. --Mywikis (talk) 17:13, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello there and thanks for signing up on WikiApiary and checking the site out! I hope you like it and find it useful. I've written some custom bots that use a hostlist to query a wiki farm and and automatically add new wikis to WikiApiary. Mainly the hostlist just needs to be some URL that is relatively easy to parse and has a listing of the wikis that are on that farm. If it has information like the site title as well that is helpful, but I can do it (if needed) with just a URL to the MediaWiki API. If there were such a URL/list for Farm:MyWikis I could then automatically pickup any new wikis and add them. 🐝 thingles (talk) 22:02, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Thingles. I'm in charge of MyWikis's backend and frontend, so just ask if you need anything. Is there a way to exclude our private wikis? We only have three public wikis that are currently active (and a "meta" wiki), Nationpedia, Mewpedia, The Elder Scrolls V: Mods, and MyWikis Central. --Mywikis (talk) 22:16, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
