thread_title:  ? seems a (chinese) copy of entire wikipedia ? 

message: I think the article should explain what to look for in a mirror site to tell if it's malicious or not. For example, I just found a site called en.wiki.hereiszyn.com, which appears to be an exact copy of Wikipedia (it's not listed here). Is that allowed, or does it need to indicate that it's a mirror in some way? If you try to edit a page on the site, it displays a page saying that your IP has been blocked from editing, which might be just because it's directly piping you through to real wikipedia, except real wikipedia sees your IP as this other domain. Or, it could be a phishing scam to try to get people to put in their actual wikipedia credentials before they notice that the domain is wrong. I mean, they got me to do just that, although I quickly realized that something was up when it didn't actually log me in, so I went to real wikipedia and changed my password. But it could also be a harmless mirror that just doesn't have a functioning login system, because it doesn't need one. I don't know what to look for to tell the difference. I also would like to understand more about how to identify a live mirror as opposed to a fixed one, if that's even possible from a user perspective.

message: The page here says to select from three compliance ratings of "High", "Medium" or "Low/None" when using the  template, while the template documentation itself says to pick from "High, Medium, Low, None". Which is correct? --Lord Belbury (talk) 19:14, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

https://www.k12academics.com/education-united-states/elementary-secondary-education appears to have copied from an old version of Education in the United States (before 30 July 2014), and https://www.k12academics.com/education-united-states/education-west-virginia from Education in West Virginia. -- Beland (talk) 22:20, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

message: I don't see mdwiki.org listed here. Should it be listed here under mirrors and forks, or does the connection to wikimedia make it something other than a fork? Their main page states "This site is growing out of Meta-Wiki and Wikipedia. We have attribution to Wikipedia, where much of the content originates, in the footers. We are working on a full history import. This project is run by a Wikimedia thematic organization and not by the Wikimedia Foundation." The footers for many pages say "This page may contain content developed from Wikipedia or Meta" even when the relevant talk page includes a link showing that the entirety of the page is mirrored from wikipedia.
