: I don't think it really makes any sense to list sites that are long dead, especially if there is little or no information about the defunct wiki. [[EdBooks]] for example has been dead for at least 5 years, and the domain for [[Nepwiki]] seems to have never been registered. Is there any reason to keep these pages?

:: ''We have over 800 in the archive right now [[:Category:Inactive]]. It had been a decision at the outset to keep the pages of dead wiki for historical purposes. The question can be raised to folks to see if we should just delete them. I think that we have a unique position in the wiki world to show the projects that have failed. Am open to figuring out a new policy. But maybe till that is decided, keep them...? Best, [[MarkDilley]]'' | :: ''We have over 800 in the archive right now [[:Category:Inactive]].

:::I agree that it's good to keep them for historical reasons, if only so that people searching for the wiki can find out that it's dead rather than continuing to futilely look for it.

Also, in some cases we might be able to provide a few scraps of info that could help people track down the people who were involved with the wiki, e.g. in case they want to start a similar wiki and want some pointers or database dumps.
