WP:DUSTY
Anyone know how to get WP:DUSTY updated more often? It was last updated over a month ago. ~Kvng (talk) 14:00, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I personally have no idea. I was given that list last week by someone in IRC, before seeing this talk page, as it was the closest to what we would be looking for. They could share no insight as to why it is no longer updated. Uamaol (talk) 12:29, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I figured I'd mention here, I had dug into WP:DUSTY's history a bit, and my understanding is that it was built as a bot-generated list to replace Special:Ancientpages. That bot was run by someone that disappeared, and apparently died off when its second owner was caught using sockpuppets.  The function of that bot's been replaced by a database report (WP:Database_reports/Forgotten_articles if you haven't been watching DUSTY's talkpage), but between some old MFDs and recent activity, there seems to be interest in reviving the page, possibly for discussing untouched articles.  I'm still trying to learn my way around editing, but would this project be willing to adopt WP:DUSTY from the inactive Wikiproject Database Analysis and breathe some life and purpose into it?  If nothing else is to happen, the page could probably be redirected to that database report and have the obsolete bot pages deleted. 170.178.234.233 (talk) 15:05, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Is there something that WP:DUSTY does that is not already done by WP:Database_reports/Forgotten_articles. If not, a better way forward may be to turn WP:DUSTY into a redirect. ~Kvng (talk) 13:05, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * This project is semi-active but I see no reason as to not adopting the list, that is if the other list mentioned serves a different purpose. When I came across the group it hadn't been updated in a good while and was ironically "Abandoned". Any users coming here in the future and either find that the project had fallen back into that state, or just didn't want to make their presence known, they could very easily contribute if we had all the resources required listed on our home page. Also considering WP:DUSTY is what comes to mind for most veteran Wikipedians with regards to such a task. Uamaol (talk) 05:42, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
