== I have a wiki that happens to share a name with a long defunct obscure wiki listed on this site ==
 
I recently started working on a wiki less than a week ago, and I decided I'd list it on this site. However, as it's called "Car Wiki" it shares a name with [[Car Wiki|this entry]]. It appears it has been dead(?)(listed as dormant, but leads to "Not a valid community" page on Fandom) for a long time, but I don't think it would be okay to ''replace'' it altogether by editing the page. How should I go about adding it to this site?

: I advize that you title the article "Car Wiki (skywiki)", becuz your wiki is hosted on the
: Orwellian (hCatptcha-infected) wikifarm website skywiki.org .
: That is the way that it is typically done here, when there are multiple wikis of the same name.
