'''Category:Dead''' — the [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]] listed in this [[Special:Categories|category]] below (collapse and/or scroll down past the table) are considered 'dead'; ie, completely gone for good.  Their URL may either return a '404' error, or may display the site of a domain name host, cyber-squatters, or advertising.  To include a [[wiki]] article page to this category, please change the 'Status' field of the [[Template:Wiki|Wiki infobox template]] to <tt>Dead</tt>.
'''Category:Dead''' — 'dead' is the {{tag|Wiki status|status}} and {{tag|Terms|term}} we use here on [[WikiIndex]] to describe and identify when a specific [[What is a Wiki|wiki site]], and / or [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]], and / or [[:Category:Wiki farm|wiki farm]] is considered '''dead'''; ie, completely gone for good, never to returnWhen requested, their known [[wiki]] URL will fail to open and display its actual wiki site (or wiki engine or [[wiki farm]]); it might fail to display anything apart from a 'DNS error', or it might either display a '{{Wp|HTTP 404|404}}' error, or display the site of a domain name host (domain 'parking'), cyber-squatters, or [[:Category:Advertising|advertising]], or it could automatically redirect to a totally unrelated website which is not a wiki, nor has anything in common with its original wiki site, despite using the same original URL domain.
