WP:ELNO states "Open wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors. Mirrors or forks of Wikipedia should not be linked.". Nikkimaria, would it be possible to help clarify why wikia:topgear:Top Gear: Middle East Special and wikia:christmas-specials:Top Gear: Middle East Special + respective wikis might not meet a "history of stability and a substantial number of editors"? —Sladen (talk) 05:21, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sladen, that exemption is intended for prominent and heavily edited wikis like Wookieepedia, with hundreds if not thousands of active editors. The two mentioned here have comparatively few editors. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:18, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nikkimaria, thanks for the reply. Are there other examples, in addition to Wookieepedia, as data-points? Are there prior discussions that can be read as catch up? —Sladen (talk) 12:35, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another example is the Marvel wikia. As to prior discussions, you can check the archives of WP:ELN for specific wikis; one example that comes to mind is this. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:56, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
