:::I agree that it's good to keep them for historical reasons, if only so that people searching for the wiki can find out that it's dead rather than continuing to futilely look for it. Also, in some cases we might be able to provide a few scraps of info that could help people track down the people who were involved with the wiki, e.g. in case they want to start a similar wiki and want some pointers or database dumps.

:::: Maybe, if those who started the dead wiki are not dead themselves ;-) They might add some information to the WikiIndex that might help to figure out what went wrong, how to do better or that it is no good idea at all to try for such wiki again. Like when one wiki merged with another, the dead wiki entry could point to the active one, where it is contained. --[[Special:Contributions/88.70.38.121|88.70.38.121]] 15:58, 16 July 2014 (UTC) Manorainjan AKA 88.70.38.9 (unable to create account) | :::: Maybe, if those who started the dead wiki are not dead themselves ;-) They might add some information to the WikiIndex that might help to figure out what went wrong, how to do better or that it is no good idea at all to try for such wiki again.

:::::I found additional argument for keeping after dealing with a lot of entries of presumably dead or inactive wiki: 10-20 % of them where not dead! Wikis re-activate, resurrect ;-) and the like.
