:How can you 'archive' a wiki farm?

:The 'archived' option should only be used in individual articles using [[template:Wiki]] – be they hosted on a farm or independently. I do agree that the status of the farm should be included, which is why I added to the template – but the only valid options for a [[wiki farm]] will either be 'active' or 'dead'.

In case of a singular Wiki the archive would often only have top pages archived. Archived does not practically connote, that the whole content is available. Just like 'Active' does not mean that everything in THIS Wiki is perfect. When I as a visitor see the Archived tag, than I know I would find 'something' by clicking on the name-link. When it is tagged Dead I would not want to try to end up waiting for the 404 or the domain squatters page. I do not see any harm in including Archived in the legit attributes of this status. | |||
