Federated Wiki - Twin Plugin

This plugin, type: twin, shows which sites in your neighbourhood hold a copy of the page you are reading — and which of them forked it.

Extracted from wiki-plugin-pod in September 2026, where it was the TWIN and WATCH commands. Pod asks who is kin to this site; this asks who holds this page, which needs no farm, no server and no kinship — only the neighbourhood the browser has already assembled.

Markup

Empty, or anything at all, gives the twins: every neighbour whose sitemap holds this page's slug. That is the same existence test the wiki's own Twins strip makes — a slug match, no journal and no lineage.

WATCH

WATCH on a line of its own gives the stricter half: only the neighbours whose copy carries a fork event in its journal, i.e. who took their copy from someone and is tracking a page rather than merely having one of the same name. It fetches one page per twin, and only where the sitemap already shows the slug.

Both draw as a roster of flags, each linking to that member's copy of this page. No titles — every copy is the same page — so the domain is in the hover tooltip.

What it can see

The candidates are wiki.neighborhood, so what appears depends on what your lineup has gathered. A pod item on the same page registers its kin as neighbours, which is the usual way this item comes to have anything to say.
