Forum:Orphan Wikis

It might be useful if there was a 'Visit a random orphan Wiki' - those which have been created and then effectively abandoned, or which have not been active in some while).

Alternatively an equivalent to the 'shortest articles/fewest links articles' lists on most wikis, which identifies such wikis.

Hopefully a number of wikis will be developed/adopted as a result (or possibly amalgamated into other wikis). Jackiespeel 15:11, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's likely that most of the time when you go to a random wiki, you won't be interested in the topic, so I'm not sure if they'll be many success stories with this --  Random Time  15:20, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

There should be #some# way of identifying 'orphan wikis' so that appropriate action can be taken.

The first option is a parallel to the suggestion I have made on Wikipedia for a 'Random article with tags requesting improvement' and the second option is probably more useful - people are more likely to spot 'something they wish to develop' (or suggest amalgamation etc - as could probably happen with some of the 'dormant wikis' on ).

And - I know that such suggestions often involve more work than the proposer realises :) Jackiespeel 15:45, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
