: um, wow, nice work!!  ~~ [[MarkDilley]]

::Thank-you :)  Are there any other languages which need to be added, or any other amendments? --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 03:37, 3 January 2012 (PST)

==Dead vs Inactive==

Dead, maybe the action for dead wiki is to make the template inactive, not really needing inactive as a stage... not sure, will ponder, look forward to your thoughts on it. Best, [[MarkDilley]]

::It doesnt look like this has been resolved yet. The English descriptions for "dead" and "inactive" are still identical, whereas in other languages they are seemingly differentiated. A better description of inactive appears on the Category:Inactive page: "An Inactive wiki is a wiki that was once Active but can temporarily not be connect to; or, displays an error." (although "connect" should read "connected"). I think "temporarily" is the key word here, although in reality this can probably only be presumed. --[[User:Thedugganaut|thedugganaut]] ([[User talk:Thedugganaut|talk]]) 15:26, 14 September 2012 (PDT)

::There have also been wikis that were accidentally abandoned because the owner vanished, either because he died, went to jail, or was otherwise unable to get to a computer. [[Libertapedia]]'s owner was absent for 14 months, during which time one of the sysops took over, kicked off a bunch of users, protected a bunch of pages, and conformed the site to his pro-eugenics views. I think there are actually quite a few abandoned wikis out there, although I'm not sure where one draws the line between a site owner who is simply extremely inattentive and one who is totally gone. A lot of site owners neglect their wikis to some degree or another. [[Mises Wiki]]'s tech support sucks; reported glitches remain unfixed for months sometimes, but the wiki is part of an otherwise vibrant website.

==Big gap between dormant and active==

Where does one draw the line between dormant and active? There are some wikis with not much activity other than a continual battle against spam. They keep the spam down but don't accomplish much else. This chart has no middle ground between dormant and active, though; there are a lot of wikis with low, but greater than zero, activity.

::That makes sense, although the description may need to be broadened because "functional but empty, or over-run by spam" doesn't really cover those situations in which the wiki has content, is kept free of spam, but has only a small amount of (but greater than zero) other constructive edits.
