:'''Status''' Some wikis are dormant simply because no one cares, some are dormant because they are locked from editing. That's a meaningful distinction to me. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 02:24, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Sure it is. But it is called Status and not Reason4Status. Just Like [[:Category:NeedsLove|NeedsLove]] which is not a status but an opinion, it does not belong in Status. Specifics can always be edited into the description. Otherwise we would blow up the Category:Status with numerous special stati. I could invent meaningful new stati by the minute. There is always a reason and it always makes a difference. Shall I? [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]])

:'''Reasons''' Statuses exist just as helpful guides. If you can think of more categories that would be useful, that's fine. If a community stops editing because it peters out, that's one thing--someone else can come along and begin editing. If a community stops editing because of a technical restriction, that's quite another. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 03:51, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
