Dead, maybe the action for dead wiki is to make the template inactive, not really needing inactive as a stage... not sure, will ponder, look forward to your thoughts on it.

: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 | :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.
