For wikis that cover 'archives' as a wiki topic, see: category:Archives.

Category:Archived is a complimentary addition to wiki sites gone for good, and listed in category: Dead, because WikiIndex is more than a 'yellow page' for wikis. We do record history here on WikiIndex; how wikis are created, what keeps them alive, and, sadly, how they went down. For wiki people, wiki history is content.

The wikis listed in this category below (collapse and / or scroll down past the status table) have been verified as 'dead'; ie, completely gone for good, and their URLs may either return a '404' error, or may display the site of a domain name host, or advertising, or be taken over by cyber-squatters. However, these dead wikis fortunately may have some (or even all) their former URLs captured and stored by one of the web archiving services, such as the WaybackMachine from Internet Archive at Archive.org[1], or the Webpage archive at archive.is[2] (formerly at archive.today).

To include a wiki article page to this specific 'Archived' category, you must first verify that more than the main page is saved as an archive, and that at least some of the actual content pages are also archived (ideally, a significant quantity of the dead wiki has been archived). If so, first, edit the article to change all existing (dead) URLs in said dead wiki article to those of the actual archived URLs from their appropriate archiving service (Archive.org and / or archive.is); in the wiki infobox template, the size template, and any other wiki URLs which may be included within the prose. Secondly, 'tag' the word archived somewhere within the prose of the article if possible; alternatively, add [[Category:Archived]] at the bottom of the relevant dead wiki article edit box. Do not change the |status= field in the wiki infobox template to 'Archived', as this is not an acceptable parameter of our structured data, and will flag up as an error.

Accordingly, all of these wikis are, by nature, now read-only.

See also: category: Dormant (for live online wikis that could have editing activity, but do not), and category: Dead (for wikis which are permanently offline, and failed to be archived).
