Does anyone have any examples of a metapedia, i.e., an aggregation of entries from Wikipedia around a particular topic, possibly with additional original or linked content? (The sites that merely republish Wikipedia content in its entirety don't count.) Thanks. Posted

I think the FDA has advised against doing what you describe. Possible implosion point.

If you wanted to see what the Foundation knows about this sort of thing, you might look here:

I note that Wikia does some "wikis" of Wikipedia, such as
http://bladerunner.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
in which some of the content is copied from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner
but even the internal links have not been fixed up.

Wikipedia also has "Portals" and "Category" and Commons all for
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:History
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:History
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:History
Again, a subset copy to outside the Foundation would require a lot of internal links point back to Wikipedia anyway.
