:That's an interesting question. What should the lifecycle of a wiki be? Were they meant to last forever? I didn't realize just how many wikis there are until I discovered WikiIndex. Having now shallowly observed several hundred wikis, in my opinion, not all of them deserve to live forever. And clearly, some were designed with a limited-time purpose, not to be relevant a decade later. But I take your point, a lot of good information and hard work can be lost if site owners or hosts are careless. The best advice I can offer to avoid this is for people to plan their wikis carefully. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 17:48, 4 November 2010 (PDT) | :That's an interesting question.

:: As a specific example, what happened to http://de.wikiindex.org/ ? It is mentioned at [[WikiIndex:FrequentlyAskedQuestions]], but today it seems to be offline ? Did anyone grab a backup before it was too late? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 15:20, 1 February 2011 (PST) | |||
