Temporary connection problem
If you think that the wiki site may be having a temporary connection problem; use template:Down, and change the   field to 'Cannot connect' in the  infobox or other existing infobox template.

By using the template:Down, with the additional (preferred) parameter of five tildes (~), i.e.,  , it will automatically add a time-stamp and date of when the 'Down' template was added to its article page, and will also auto-include into category:Cannot connect.

Permanently dead
If you are aware that the wiki site is clearly , or has been link-dead (404) for a long time; change the   field to 'Dead' in the  infobox or other existing infobox template for its article page. Furthermore, to provide emphasis that the wiki site is dead, please 'strike-through' the title of the wiki site in the infobox   field, e.g.,  |name= Italian Deadpedia . This strike-through feature can also be used for the actual article page title using the 'DISPLAYTITLE' function, e.g.,  .

It is also strongly encouraged to find archive URLs from a web archiving service to replace all existing links in its infobox and description where possible. If using links from archive.today at archive.is, please hide or 'comment out' original links (i.e.,  </tt>) rather than deleting them. If using links from the Internet Archive WaybackMachine at Archive.org, its URLs include the actual original URL, so there is no need hide the original link.
