For Wikis T1, T2, T1<>T2 with pages t1 in T1, t2 in T2, we define the TwinPage relation as follows:
t1 Twinpages t2 :<=> WikiPageName(t1)=WikiPageName(t2) and BiLinked(t1,t2)
Verbose: Two different Wikis are called TwinWikis iff their pages are mapped one-to-one and each mapped pair of pages are namesakes (i.e. share the same WikiPageName).

Bill has his own network of twin pages with an embeddable widget. See:

Discussion:
Due to the name-sharing, TwinPages don't need to repeat the name of their complementary twin ("brother/sister page"). Instead of this, they only need to use their WikiPrefix or WikiLogo in a uniform way. This is an excellent way to promote wikis by continuous name-recognition.
The metapher "twin" implies symmetry in the sense, that "A is a twin to B" is equivalent to "B is a twin to A".
The terms FriendPage, FriendWikis, PartnerPage, PartnerWikis are also worth to be considered to be formalized/implemented/used -- FridemarPache
The FriendPage relation is interesting (as a metaphor and a source of inspiration), because it is
- reflexive (each one is their own friend (hopefully))
- symmetric
- transitive ("your friends are my friends" useful at least as mnemonic)
Notes:
A couple of additional points...
Hi Hans,
- The use of the WikiPragma: "TwinPages:" on the bottom line of the page, immediately followed by a list of wikis with the same Wiki Page Name is Wiki:DoTheSimplestThingThatCouldPossiblyWork . In this way, making TwinPages is userdefined. It's not anymore the privilege of a GodKing to make twins.
- By applying the insights, gained from TwinPagesArchive, the author made the above definition less restricted.
- The CommunityWiki:RecentNearChanges page even makes it easy to review a merged set of RecentChanges.
- Consider too Wiki:SisterSites as a form of automatic linking between wikis.

Hi Hans,
- I put your contribution into the redefinition of TwinPage. Thank you.
- As currently I found no WikiFarm yet, that supports the automatic creation of TwinPages or even TwinWikis/TwinBalls, I am going to use the following workaround in my SlideWiki experiment: For each slide page with name XYZ, I take as TwinPage a page with name XYZ_ . In this way any wiki W can be made a partition of two wikis W1, W2, where all the pagenames in W2 have trailing underscores, whereas all the pages in W1 don't have one. The disadvantage of a manual made TwinWiki pair (W1,W2) is, that it may be another threshold for newcomers and that it takes a bit more care. But I think, that the advantages for a partitioned SlideWiki outweigh by far this little nuisance.
Now we need a decent term for the Wikis who have TwinPages in common. "Sister" A cannot have a T1, wheras "Sister" B has a T2, where T1,T2 are twin pages. Therefore the autor suggests the term TwinWiki. -- FridemarPache
Attention:
- The content of the page, that was earlier named TwinPages (, now redirected to the current page), moved to TwinPagesArchive. Reason: it was asked to be reworked, probably for reason of systematics and usefulness.
- WikiNode is an instance of a TwinPage.
- TwinPages is also used as a WikiPragma.
- CommunityWiki has an implicit TwinPage: i.e it redirects TwinPage as a NearLink to MeatballWiki
- A powerful generalization of TwinPage is VirtualTwinPage
New notation:' After TwinPages we insert the pseudo-icon <=>. If this usage is established, we can omit the pragma "TwinPages", because the pseudo-icon '<=>' appears to be sufficiently selfexplaining, if there are enough use-cases.
