:Aha - I didn't want to make any drastic changes – but yes, I agree, we have un-necessary duplication. [[:Category:Dead]] currently has 270 articles, and [[:Category:Inactive]] currently has 860 articles. I would personally prefer that the Dead category be kept; as Inactive has the potential to be confused with [[:Category:Dormant]]. In terms of templates, we currently have both [[Template:Wiki dead]] and [[Template:Inactive]] – 'Wiki dead' renders a page better than 'Inactive' – the least preferred one can be redirected to the other. Which ever way you wish to proceed with the 1000+ affected articles, you'll need to create a [[:Category:User Bot|bot account]] to process all the changes :p --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 12:16, 8 January 2012 (PST) | :Aha - I didn't want to make any drastic changes – but yes, I agree, we have un-necessary duplication.

::It doesnt look like this has been resolved yet. The English descriptions for "dead" and "inactive" are still identical, whereas in other languages they are seemingly differentiated. A better description of inactive appears on the [[:Category:Inactive]] page: "An Inactive wiki is a wiki that was once Active but can temporarily not be connect to; or, displays an error." (although "connect" should read "connected"). I think "temporarily" is the key word here, although in reality this can probably only be presumed. --[[User:Thedugganaut|thedugganaut]] ([[User talk:Thedugganaut|talk]]) 15:26, 14 September 2012 (PDT) | ::It doesnt look like this has been resolved yet.

:::Regarding the 'inactive' vs 'dead' - there are problems with both - and I don't think we have reached a satisfactory resolution. Mark prefers to use <code>{{template|inactive}}</code>, but this has (IMVHO) disatrous consquences (it basically strips out all categorisation from the former infobox). And the <code>{{template|wiki dead}}</code> template is very untidy.

== Big gap between dormant and active == | ==Big gap between dormant and active== | ||
Where does one draw the line between dormant and active? There are some wikis with not much activity other than a continual battle against spam. They keep the spam down but don't accomplish much else. This chart has no middle ground between dormant and active, though; there are a lot of wikis with low, but greater than zero, activity.

:I would say [[:Category:NeedsLove]]. I've been using this for wikis which have little or no 'constructive' editing, but have occasional 'maintenance' edits to delete spam. Does this seem ok to you?
