;''Usage | |||
This {{tag|Housekeeping templates|housekeeping template}} is meant for tagging any <u>external links</u> which are unreachable (dead, 404 error, redirect to domain registration or search engine site, etc, and hopefully [[:Category:Archived|archived]]). Instead of simply deleting said link, tag the dead link by adding <code>{{Template|DeadEL}}</code> at the end of the URL, so that others may be prompted to search any online archives such as the Internet Archive WaybackMachine at [[Archive.org]] or similar such as Archive Today at [[archive.is]]. | |||
Usage of this tag will automatically include said article (or [[Special:Categories|category]]) into [[:category: FindDeadURLs]]. | |||
