User talk:Reception123/Dormant wikis/old draft

NDK's Opinion
I'm not going to edit this draft yet but I figured that, as an Orain steward and community member here, I personally believe Orain's dormancy policy is a little harsh. Personally I'd prefer a combination of some of the following changes. Thanks for reading this -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 16:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Inactive time
I think wikis (especially new, smaller wikis) should have more than 30 days without an edit, especially if the user is still active on Meta, or it appears they are in the midst of setting up. If a user is changing sites or trying to gather a community here, it may take long for people to start actually using it.

Warning time
After a notice is placed, I believe there should be more than 7 days before locking so that there is more time to see the notice, I propose somewhere between 10-30 days. I noticed on Orain that a week or two after locking, several people requested unlocks.

Adoption policy / private wikis
I think that there should be a delay between locking and "available for adoption" (just incase). I do however agree that private wikis should not ever be adoptable, except by local staff on that wiki (ie, if someone is already allowed to read the wiki, but the founder abandons it, give another user elevated rights but don't open it up)

Deletion policy
Unless required for technical/space reasons, I don't think we should delete unused wikis. I think we should however allow users to request deletion of wikis they founded, unless there are objections by people using the wiki.
