After further consideration on T9148, it seems that this would require a community discussion and that there seems to be no real benefit to this as empty wikis don't take up too much space anymore. As such, this is declined. Agent Isai ^{Talk to me!} 07:17, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Tracked on Phorge
Task T9148

Status:  Declined

Proposed by GTrang

Proposal summary: Wikis where the only edit (including deleted ones) is the default Main Page creation with oldid=1 should be automatically deleted after a month (rather than six months).

Full proposal: If one is not making progress on the wiki, then what is the point of keeping it for six months, wasting server space? The people wishing to build the wiki could be procrastinating, and if so, the automatic deletion bot would also be procrastinating. Instead, the automatic deletion bot should not procrastinate for far longer than necessary.

The results for the Community Wishlist Survey are here! Go to the main page for more information.
