Description

WikiApiary is a website acts as an index for MediaWiki wikis, its bot records the statistics of wikis and extension usages etc.

The site seems to be hosted by WMF, but it is not actively maintained and omits many wikis. I, @Lens0021, think we can improve some missing automation steps WikiApiary have to.

I am going to go ahead and mark this as declined since WikiApiary has been down off and on for months, if it comes back online, and reliable, this can definitely be reopened. Thanks!

On second thought I will leave this open for a bit longer, feel free to decline it yourself if you think it should be, but otherwise for at least a few more weeks, we can wait if you want.

I recently re-deployed the WikiApiary site, so we're in the process of ensuring it is correctly set up.

Though idk it will be restored.

For now, declining, it should be reopened if WikiApiary ever comes back online, reliably. Thank you!
