             Bug #: 28393
           Summary: Remove deleted wikis from all dblists
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Site requests
        AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: pathoschild+wmb...@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The API is inconsistent regarding the existence of deleted wikis. Krinkle (bug
27994) and Reedy (bug 28384) suggest the wikis were not removed from all
dblists.

For example, the Bashkir Wiktionary is listed by globaluserinfo[1], but does
not exist according to sitematrix[2]. This causes problems for scripts that
cross-reference the dbname to the details gathered from the site matrix.

I encountered this problem with the following dbnames:
* bawiktionary
* liquidthreads_labswikimedia
* tokiponawiki
* tokiponawikibooks
* tokiponawikiquote
* tokiponawiktionary
