== Dead wiki sites == | |||
Being as [[WikiIndex]] has wanted to list [[:Category:All|ALL wiki]] sites - '[[:Category:Dead|dead]] or [[:Category:Active|alive]]', and we no longer use the 'Inactive' template (for a variety of valid reasons), I am aware that some folks are still uncomfortable with the lack of instant visible identification that they are indeed dead. So I have long being chewing over ways to improve this. I currently have two different ideas, one is a basic method, but will need manual editing of every dead wiki article. The second idea is much preferred, but it requires new coding to our {{Template|Wiki}} infobox template - and I am struggling to work out how! | |||
Two options for dead wiki articles: | |||
#In the <code>|name =</code> field of the {{Template|Wiki}} infobox template, use the strike-out function, eg, <code><nowiki>|name = <s>Felix Pleşoianu Wiki</s></nowiki></code>. [[Felix Pleşoianu Wiki]] is an example currently like this. An additional strike-out can be done to the article title, eg, <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:<s>Felix Pleşoianu Wiki</s>}}</nowiki></code>. Unfortunately, I don't think this method complies with accessibility standards (but neither does most of Wikipedia!) | |||
#Change the {{Template|Wiki}} infobox template so that when <tt>Dead</tt> is entered in the <code>|status =</code> field, the background colour within the infobox automatically changes from the default white to a darker colour - maybe dark-grey? | |||
