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]]

===How to know when a wiki went online?===
How will we know the day the wiki first went online? [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 12:23, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
:We could usually tell by the earliest date in the history of the mainpage but I think that disappears if the mainpage is deleted and recreated. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 12:23, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
::The [http://www.archive.org/index.php WayBackMachine at archive.org] could be used to verify an earlier date, but not all sites are archived there. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 12:23, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
:::If it has its own domain we could go by the date of the domain registration (enter the website name [http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp here]) but this doesn't mean the wiki was up at that time. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 12:23, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
