Dead and / or moved wikis

Ello - good to see you getting involved again. I've noticed you are redirecting dead wiki articles to another article, such as Wikia - as in this example. I'm not sure if you are aware - we deal with those wikis slightly different here. We always keep a full page article - complete with infobox and links for dead wiki - but crucially, we look for said dead wiki on the Internet Archive WaybackMachine at Archive.org (we have an interwiki created for such links - but NOT in the infobox), and use those archived links in the infobox, and then change its status to 'Archived'.

Following on, IF said dead wiki moved or forked to another host such as Wikia, we then add a second infobox on the SAME page. We also add a brief note as to the reasons for moving host. However, if said wiki was forked before the original closed, and so had a separate article here on WikiIndex, we then keep both articles, but use a 'see also' or similar signpost in the prose of both articles.

It would be appreciated if you could undo your redirects accordingly. :-)) Best, Sean, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat} • talk2HH 04:16, 28 January 2017 (PST)
