:::::I think most of those will have been categorised into Inactive by changing their respective [[:Category:Infobox templates|infobox template]] from {{template|Wiki}} to {{template|Inactive}}. I could run a [[Special:ReplaceText]] to change the first line (which is what was done previously in reverse, albeit manually on a wiki-by-wiki basis) - but that would then leave the status field open to major errors.

OK, run the replace for the first line only. Whatever remains in the [[:Category:Inactive]] will have to be checked manually. Actually I expect a resurrection 1 out of 100 ;-)[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 17:29, 4 August 2014 (UTC) | OK, run the replace for the first line only.

:::: So, You reiterate we should....not...Better You substantiate with arguments. I do not agree with that. To shift from inactive to dead is not a loss of information but a clarification. The 'blanking' of category information is a loss of information. Then one could delete the entries of dead wikis as well. But I understood, that I do not have a licence to kill here. Userpages of spammers get deleted but no wiki entries ever. If an entry should be preserved it should also be traceable. So, cats should remain connected with them. There is no use of not killing the entry if I kill the information that leads to the entry. So, what is so bad about this 'population'?[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 01:52, 5 August 2014 (UTC) | :::: So, You reiterate we should....not...Better You substantiate with arguments.

:::::The problem is that an index of dead wikis is about as useful as a phone book from 1965. It's of historical interest, but little practical use. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] ([[User talk:MarvelZuvembie|talk]]) 02:10, 5 August 2014 (UTC) | |||
