::: I'd like to keep New category. I think it is a reasonable way of letting people know of a wiki that relatively New and is thus probably a wiki they haven't looked at and probably needs more contributions. I was thinking of taking [[Apologetics Wiki]] and adding it to a birth category (perhaps 2009 March births?)[http://www.apologetics-wiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&dir=prev&limit=7&action=history]. I think a wiki should lose New status when (a) after seven months (so Apologetics Wiki would lose its New status in November (1 month old in April, 2 months old in May, 3 in June, 4 in July, 5 in Aug, 6 in Sept and 7 in October) or (b) it gets big enough (more than 100 articles?) --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 01:58, 25 October 2009 (EDT) | ::: I'd like to keep New category.

::::I like the "birth" (or founding?) cat idea. It doesn't require updating - stuff that is in recent "founding date" cats is new.

I find it useful to let people know that a wiki is new. I like the idea of adding a wikis birthday, (see [http://WikiBirthday.org WikiBirthday.org]. If we keep the new status - then yea, in x months it should be replaced by another [[Category:Wiki Status|wiki status]]. [[MarkDilley]] | |||
