Wiki name permanently retired?
When I delete a wiki, why is the name permanently retired, even for me, the owner?
I’m anxious

Olivier, that is a great solution. If you no longer want to use a wiki, just delete it's content and let other users know they can contact you if they want to use it. We recently had a great example of this, check it out here: http://ihopeitworks.blogspot.com/2008...

Inappropriate?They started "retiring" names about a year ago, with no explanation. They've never given an honest (i.e., complete and technical) explanation of why they made this policy decision. I'm sure (if they deign to reply at all), the answer you'll get will involve the growing complexity of their systems, or some such mumbledygook, very similar to their excuse for not allowing wikis to be renamed.
I’m glad *my* code isn't so complex that I can't make it do what I want

Guy, we've explained to you several times that we have employed aggressive caching in a lot of parts of the system and distributed wiki names as keys on a very large number of tables (Salesforce, memcache, billing, userDB, wiki meta) on various services that would make a guaranteed flush difficult. But I'm not convinced you actually care or even that showing you the underlying code and SQL and infrastructure would be helpful to anybody. I've asked you before, please stop harassing our team and our users. At this point you're just antagonizing everyone. -
Inappropriate?I have a proposition for the people who care about not retired all the name...
You can just change the Description (This text is shown on the login page of your wiki.) Explaining that you drop the wiki and that people can connect to you for a transfert of the "owernership"...
I guess that it is possible to change the administrator...
Like this the name stay available for others... What I think is better...
I’m excited
