Deletionpedia was an online archive wiki containing articles deleted from the English Wikipedia. Its version of each article included a header with more information about the deletion such as whether a speedy deletion occurred, where the deletion discussion about the article could be found and which editor deleted the article. The original Deletionpedia operated from February to September 2008. The site was restarted under new management in December 2013.[1]
The site was based on MediaWiki.[2][3] It functioned as something of a "wikimorgue"; it automatically collected articles deleted from Wikipedia.[4]
In addition to categories preserved from Wikipedia, Deletionpedia had its own categories for articles, based upon the deletion criteria. Pages were organized by the month in which they were deleted, by the number of editors that had worked on a page and by the length of time the article had existed on Wikipedia.
