=====2025-01-07 – activity and growth 2006-2024=====
An abstract representation of WikiIndex Activity and Growth 2006-2024 as presented by [[MarkDilley]] in a 95 second YouTube video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7v91oEBcRE here].
====2024-02 thoughts about dead wiki / archiving here====
Having run into a bunch of wiki that are no longer with us this year.  I started to think that maybe we need a different namespace for wiki that have moved on.  So that when people come here and bounce around, they find wiki that are at minimum, online.  Also, removing them from all categories would seem prudent.  Thoughts?  [[MarkDilley]]
:The defunct or closed or dead status should make it clear, but we could have some color if the infobox has that kind of status and maybe a headline that says so. As for categories, we definitely could have categories about [topic] assume that they are living and any of them that are dead can be a subclass of [topic].

::Yes, I remember advocating for keeping dead and defunct wiki in the main namespace.  Now I am wondering about that decision again, checking out what folks think and appreciate hearing it. Best, [[MarkDilley]]
