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, 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!
