I find it useful to let people know that a wiki is new.  I like the idea of adding a wikis birthday, (see [http://WikiBirthday.org WikiBirthday.org].  If we keep the new status - then yea, in x months it should be replaced by another [[:Category:Wiki status|wiki status]].  [[MarkDilley]]

:I see the "New" category as being distinct from [[:Category:Dormant|"Dormant"]]. Many new wikis might appear to be dormant, primarily because they haven't caught on yet. Of course, some may never become very active. I think it's a useful definition to let people know that it may not have a lot of activity or content yet. The status probably should change to "Active" or "Dormant" after a suitable period has passed. Of course, that would require someone to monitor the listing or monitor the "New" category. In practice, I suspect that the entries will only be updated in a haphazard fashion. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 13:41, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
