Category talk:Opt out

There is no harm in keeping this category. It's true that we don't need a wiki's permission to list it. It's true that no one seems to have opted out so far. Still, that doesn't mean that we can't respect the wishes of a wiki which asks not to be listed in this index. --MarvelZuvembie (talk) 19:04, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

I don't think this is a bad idea. I can imagine wikis made by companies or studentgroups, who would rather not have people looking to deeply to into what there doing. For example, a Dutch wiki I tried to add of a businessgroup had a secure tag in it, that did not allow me to add them to Wikiindex. --Redgreenfourties (talk) 19:09, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Why should we respect those companies', student groups', etc. wishes, over the wishes of those who want to look deeply into what those wikis are doing? Leucosticte (talk) 19:41, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Because we can. --MarvelZuvembie (talk) 19:50, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

...Which is an argument that can be raised for not respecting it as well, since we can do that too. My question wasn't what we can do, but what we should do and why. Leucosticte (talk) 20:02, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

If a user of a wiki feels it not to there benefit to have their wiki added to wikiindex and run the risk of it being archived, it would be a decent act to remove it for them. These would be mostly business, student and personal wikis. Wikis with a highly personal use that wouldn't normally show up. Besides it would give someone the possibility of expressing grievances and that is always a positive thing. --Redgreenfourties (talk) 20:10, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
