This [[Special:Categories|category]] will contain articles here on [[WikiIndex]] which have dead external links in their prose (but not including primary links in infoboxes).  This will hopefully prompt other editors to search for an online archive of said dead external links maybe somewhere like the [[Archive.org|Internet Archive WaybackMachine]] at [http://web.archive.org Web.Archive.org].  Articles are automatically included in this category when the <code><nowiki>{{DeadEL}}</nowiki></code> is used.
'''Category: FindDeadURLs''' — this [[Special:Categories|category]] here on [[WikiIndex]] will contain [[:Category:All|wiki]] [[article]]s and / or other [[categories]] which have dead external link(s) (URL) in their prose (but ''<u>not</u>'' including primary links in their [[:Category:Infobox template|infoboxes]]).  This will hopefully prompt other [[editor]]s to search for updated URLs (if the original URL schema has subsequently been revised, or it is hosted on a new domain).  Or if the actual wiki site (or [[:Category:Wiki farm|wiki farm]] or [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]]) is [[:Category:Dead|dead]]; search the online [[:Category:Archived|archives]] for said dead external links; maybe somewhere like the ''WaybackMachine'' from the [[Archive.org|Internet Archive]] at [https://web.Archive.org Web.Archive.org], or the [[archive.is|Archive Today]] at [https://archive.is archive.is].  Articles and / or sub-categories are automatically included in this specific [[category]] when the <code>{{Template|DeadEL}}</code> template (with a rendered <mark>yellow</mark> background) is used.
