[Wikimedia-l] speedydeletion.wika.com lauched

[Mike Dupont]

good question,
The raw data is not lost : the archive.org will get a snapshot every 30
minutes of the items that are categorized.

the wikia right now will not be updated: There is not any code for the
updating of the article, once it is in the wikia.

I would be interesting to get the full history of each article, if it is
replaced after deletion, i suppose that a new page or subpage would be
needed if it is deleted again, maybe a fine history would be good enough.


In any case if articles last more than 30 minutes in the speedy deletion
category they will be archived.
