What I mean by a ghost/zombie wiki is a wiki that is discontinued, abandoned, and almost no one does anything on the specified wiki, let alone visit that wiki. The fact that there are admins and moderators to keep vandalism in check means that once vandals stumble upon that wiki, they can just enter it and run wild, removing all content from so many pages, adding inappropriate images, filling the chat and comments with spam. Even worse, multiple vandals can overrun the wiki and discuss obscene things that are too disgusting to describe. A zombie/ghost wiki is basically a cyberspace version of a severely-irradiated human with AIDS in the middle of the Wasteland in Fallout Shelter.

Here are some ghost/zombie wikis:

Stick Empires Wiki

Smashy Road Wiki

This is obviously not all of the zombie wikis in the Internet and I am 100% sure there are probably thousands of abandoned, discontinued wikis out there.

Why are there so many abandoned and dead wikis around cyberspace?
