| Anyone considering using '''GetWiki''' should review [http://recyclopedia.info/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=GetWiki:_critical_point_of_view the critical point of view of it taken at Recyclopedia]. It would appear that the primary developer, [[M.R.M._Parrott]], is a simple [[control freak]] with no capacity whatsoever to engage in a [[standards process]] or work within a [[deliberative democracy]]. He seems also to have a strongly [[commercial bias]] though he tellingly accuses others of having same. He seems further to have objected strongly to deletion of his own biography from [[Wikipedia]], but has no conscience about deleting necessary standards-related articles from [[Wikinfo]] to make it harder for [[mediawiki]] developers to find, and etc..

| GetWiki is a [[fork]] of [[MediaWiki]] (like [[PhpWiki]] is a [[fork]] of [[UseModWiki]])
