Category:Archived

Not to be confused with category:Archives – a wiki topic category.

Category:Archived is preferred before, because WikiIndex is more than a 'yellow page' for wikis. We do record history, how they 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 URL 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 Internet Archive WaybackMachine at Archive.org[1], or the archive.is (formerly at archive.today) Webpage archive.[2]

To include a wiki article page to this category, you must first verify that more than the main page is archived, and that at least some of the actual content pages are also archived. Please change the 'Status' field of the Wiki infobox template to Archived, after amending their infobox and size URLs (and any other URLs) to include the Archive.org or archive.is URLs. Alternatively, please add [[Category:Archived]] at the bottom of the relevant articles' edit box.

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

See also: category:Dormant (for wikis that could have activity but don't), and category:Dead (for wikis which are offline and failed to be archived).
