Hello;

While I was updating our lists of wikis, I found Miraheze has a deletion policy. Any inactive wiki is eligible for deletion after 4 months.

Miraheze Staff has noticed that this wiki has no edits or logs made within the last 45 days. If you would like to prevent this wiki from being closed, please start showing signs of activity here. If there are no signs of this wiki being used within the next 15 days, this wiki may be closed per the Dormancy Policy. This wiki will then be eligible for adoption by another user. If not adopted and still inactive 135 days from now, this wiki will become eligible for deletion. Please be sure to familiarize yourself with Miraheze's Dormancy Policy. If there is activity on this wiki you can go on MediaWiki:Sitenotice and remove this notice yourself. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to Contact Us.

I think that all wikis with their names striked[1] fall in that status. I have improved the spider[2] for Miraheze and updated the list, now it shows 2244 wikis.[3]

What is our last backup for this wikifarm? Should we launch another backup?

Regards

Late reply, but I just saw this.

As stated, wikis are only deleted after minimum 6 months of them being closed and inactive. If necessary, exemptions can also be granted, so that if your wiki is only meant to be read and no new information is added, it does not get closed.

As for backups, you can read about them here: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Backups and if you want, you can have automatic ones.
