The stati 'Dead' and 'Inactive' are the same! What is the use of that? And is there a reason to delete a wiki entry altogether? --[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 19:11, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

:::IIRC, from the may discussions from many different editors here, that [[:Category:Inactive]] should be depreciated, and we just use [[:Category:Dead]] for those permanently vanished, but use [[:Category:Dormant]].  Whilst dictionary definition for 'inactive' ''might'' describe ''some'' wikis; ie: 'idle' - the literal meaning of 'inactive' is whereby there are short periods of - say downtime.  Dictionary definition for general adjective of 'dormant' has two complimentary meanings - 1. "quiet and inactive, as in sleep", 2. "latent or inoperative".  A further biological definition of 'dormant' means: "alive but in a resting torpid condition with no growth".  So 'dormant' basically means a lack of any activity for longer periods of time - hence why I personally prefer Dormant over Inactive for wikis which are still reachable, but havn't been edited for a long time.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 12:27, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
