This change in the homepage represents a shift from a web-first (<abbr title="hypertext markup language">HTML</abbr>-first) development model to a wiki-first (MEDIAWIKI-first) development model.  Previously, <cite class="n">NikkiWiki</cite> was a secondary site intended for notes or incomplete works compiled in wikimarkup before being (re)published in webmarkup (HTML or hypertext markup language) on the main site.  But this just ends up as twice the work.  Other [[mw:What is MediaWiki?|Wikimedia MediaWiki]] sites such as [[wikipedia:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikipedia</cite>]], [[wikibooks:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikibooks</cite>]], and [[wikisource:en:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikisource</u>]] prove that [[wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] is more than capable of handling completed works including those with complex content and simply using a wiki as a "quicknotes" system is an underutilization.  A traditional HTML website or homepage is thus unnecessary if a wiki is present on the domain.  The exception of course is for a wikifarm where no single wiki is primary, as seen with the HTML homepages for [https://www.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia] and [https://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia]. | This change in the homepage represents a shift from a web-first (<abbr title="hypertext markup language">HTML</abbr>-first) development model to a wiki-first (MEDIAWIKI-first) development model.  Previously, <cite class="n">NikkiWiki</cite> was a secondary site intended for notes or incomplete works compiled in wikimarkup before being (re)published in webmarkup (HTML or hypertext markup language) on the main site.  But this just ends up as twice the work.  Other [[mw:What is MediaWiki?|Wikimedia MediaWiki]] sites such as [[wikipedia:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikipedia</cite>]], [[wikibooks:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikibooks</cite>]], and [[wikisource:en:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikisource</u>]] prove that [[wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] is more than capable of handling completed works including those with complex content and simply using a wiki as a "quicknotes" system is an underutilization.  A traditional HTML website or homepage is thus unnecessary if a wiki is present on the domain.  The exception of course is for a wikifarm where no single wiki is primary, as seen with the HTML homepages for [https://www.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia] and [https://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia]. | ||
A major advantage of abandoning webdevelopment in pure HTML in favor of MediaWiki wikimarkup is for intercompatibility with other MediaWiki sites such as <cite class="n">Wikipedia</cite>, <cite class="n">Wikibooks</cite>, and [[wikiversity:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikiversity</cite>]].  Wikitext can be freely copied to and from <cite class="n">NikkiWiki</cite> and [https://www.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia] (with attribution) since both are using the same software (Wikimedia MediaWiki) and the same license (<u>[[NikkiLicense|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike]]</u>). <ref><u><code>[[MediaWiki]]</code></u></ref> <ref><code>[[mw: | A major advantage of abandoning webdevelopment in pure HTML in favor of MediaWiki wikimarkup is for intercompatibility with other MediaWiki sites such as <cite class="n">Wikipedia</cite>, <cite class="n">Wikibooks</cite>, and [[wikiversity:Main Page|<cite class="n">Wikiversity</cite>]].  Wikitext can be freely copied to and from <cite class="n">NikkiWiki</cite> and [https://www.wikimedia.org/ Wikimedia] (with attribution) since both are using the same software (Wikimedia MediaWiki) and the same license (<u>[[NikkiLicense|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike]]</u>). <ref><u><code>[[about NikkiWiki]]</code></u></ref> <ref><u><code>[[MediaWiki]]</code></u></ref> <ref><code>[[mw:Main Page]]</code></ref> <ref><code>[[mw:sites using MediaWiki]]</code></ref> <ref><u><code>[[NikkiLicense]]</code></u></ref> <ref><code>https://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/</code></ref> <ref><code>https://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode</code></ref> <ref><u><code>[[Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License]]</code></u></ref> <ref><code>https://www.wikimedia.org/</code></ref> | ||
