[edit] This doesn't happen enough

So, thanks for all that you do for this site, what with all of your charts and statistics, they really help to put things in perspective. Aboriginal Noise ^Punkrock 23:24, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your appreciation - flattery is my main driving force, so this is most welcomed :-) larron^{sicut fur in nocte} 10:13, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey! The truth isn't flattery. Your charts & stuff help visualising stuff we know but can't prove. ^yummy &  ^honey_{(or marmalade)} 10:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Lagrange the Insignificant

Remember the archive of old revisions I recently mentioned on the WIGO talk? Wouldnt' it be about time someone did a Gallery of Baleeted Articles? I could do the coding but I can't seem to come up with of a cool name. Mountain Blue 17:03, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Very interesting idea! And about the name : If you build it, he it will come larron^{sicut fur in nocte} 20:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm saving the wiki source text instead of the final HTML for the revisions I'm archiving, for reasons of economy and parseability, so we're going to need a compiler of sorts. Do we attempt to emulate the original look and feel or do we roll our own? Before anybody does any actual work we should probably run this idea by a few people to see if there is any kind of demand for this graveyard. (Graveyard, hm...)

I don't think that the original look is needed - so, a wiki should be ideal to display the wiki source text - without further need for conversion...

How many articles are we talking about? Could you just show one or two prime examples for starters?

We might want to automagically remove redlinks in the originals that would never be articles here? ħuman 02:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

We might. I don't know how many articles we are talking about because I have no idea how many article disappearances are lulzy enough to be worth documenting in this way. This graveyard thing was just a spontaneous idea that Leisure Graph Larry's remark regarding the shitcanning of Mr Lagrange gave me. I'd appreciate suggestions.
