+If a [[wiki]] ''appears'' to be [[:Category:Dead|down]] and unable to be connected to, copy the following text surrounded by the dotted lines and paste it into the relevant wiki article page, ideally at or near the <u>top</u> of the edit box:
+<pre>{{down|~~~~~}}</pre>
-If a [[wiki]] appears to be down and unable to be connected to, place this into the wiki at the <u>top</u> of the edit box:
+The five tildes (<tt><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></tt>) shown after the pipe in the above code will automatically generate and render a 'timestamp' – so as to advise and inform other readers and/or editors, so that the wiki in question may be re-checked at a later date.
- <nowiki>{{</nowiki>down|''timestamp''}}
-(A "timestamp" is automatically generated when you add five tilde chars replacing the word ''timestamp'' in the curly brackets: <nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki> — as in <code><nowiki>{{down|~~~~~}}</nowiki></code>)
-This will automatically list the page in the [[:Category:Possibly discontinued wikis]].
+The inclusion of this [[:Category:Wiki status templates|status template]] on a wiki page will automatically list that page in the [[:Category:Possibly discontinued wikis]].
