There is no real *need* to proactively search out duplicate wikis which have fallen fallow and dormant. Someone may adopt some.

Again, Clones of Wikis should not exist, especially ones old enough to have had ample time to have made articles their own (I like to shift my wikis into In-Universe perspectives to set them apart from wikis covering the same shows), and *syncing* articles wiki-to-wiki should be dissuaded.

As for prohibiting new ones being made… well, while an effort to let wiki-makers know what already exists has merit, there are factors beyond topics and urls to be considered. Communities can be built which can be important to no one other than those who call it home, and damn any others. Certainly the "if you think you can do better" should be allowed their chances.

I know *I* don't want to be told I *cannot* make a New Wiki just because there are nth-teen of them on a given topic already in existence. Bottom line: if I wish to proceed, *I wish to proceed*.
