Why include dead wikis in this list, but not inactive wikis? Aren't the two categories basically the same?

:There have been a few discussions on the 'dead vs inactive' . . . without any real resolution. Some folks prefer to use the {{tl|inactive}} template to recategorise those wikis which have vanished. However, whilst that template clears them from this Category:All, it also strips them from every other category which their former {{tl|wiki}} rendered. IMVHO, this is unfair as it gives a negative bias to say a wiki which used the standard MediaWiki software, but gives a disproportionately positive bias towards Wikia (because Wikia wikis never die, they just fester for years with no action). | |||
:We really need to once and for all clarify the confusion over dead vs inactive [[:Category:Wiki Status|wiki status]], then we can address your concern. | |||
:Fundamentally, though, this Category:All should not include any dead wikis (be they classified as 'dead' or 'inactive').
