:::::The problem is that an index of dead wikis is about as useful as a phone book from 1965. It's of historical interest, but little practical use. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] ([[User talk:MarvelZuvembie|talk]]) 02:10, 5 August 2014 (UTC) | :::::The problem is that an index of dead wikis is about as useful as a phone book from 1965.

::::: I do keep old phone books. ;-) In fact it is a speciality of my home town to issue an address book. I collect those of different years and I use them once in a while. I'm paying prices for really old ones. I'm afraid Your phone-book allegory did not serve Your purpose very well because real phone books take real space which kept category tags do not take at all.[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 11:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC) | |||
::::::That said, I am in favor of keeping listings for dead wikis. It shows how hard it is to keep one going, how many fall by the wayside, and what topics have sprung up over time. I'm just not in favor of including dead wikis in categories. This has been status quo here for years. That's not to say that we can't change it, but should we? --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] ([[User talk:MarvelZuvembie|talk]]) 02:16, 5 August 2014 (UTC) | ::::::That said, I am in favor of keeping listings for dead wikis.

:::::: So again You iterate Your distaste for leaving the dead wikis in their categories. But where is the argument to act upon? In order to delete or hide information in a wiki one needs quite a good argument. That should be more than "I do not see the use". You need to explain the specific danger or burden of relatively high weight. A distaste will not do.[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 11:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC) | |||
