Since WikiIndex is not only meant to act as a kind of yellow pages for available wikis on the net, but also for collecting information about the [[Wikisphere]] in general and its history, we do keep entries about wikis that got lost and if possible about how their rise and fall has happened. This kind of wiki history shall help wiki people to build better wikis in more stable projects. | Since WikiIndex is not only meant to act as a kind of yellow pages for available wikis on the net, but also for collecting information about the [[Wikisphere]] in general and its history, we do keep entries about wikis that got lost and if possible about how their rise and fall has happened.

Regarding wikis we got a page about we therefore do not simply throw them into the [[:Category:Dead]] after they became unavailable. If possible we add links to an archiving project where at least parts of that wiki have been preserved and shift that wiki article from '''Active''' to [[Category:Archived]]. Naturally this requires, that someone had done something to add those information about that wiki to any of those archives while the wiki content was still available on the net. Therefore it is good practice to make sure that at least one archive project knows about that wiki, whenever You create a new article about another wiki here. | Regarding wikis we got a page about we therefore do not simply throw them into the [[:Category:Dead]] after they became unavailable.
