This [[:Category:Housekeeping templates|housekeeping template]] is meant for tagging any <u>external links</u> which are unreachable (archived, 404 error, redirect to domain registration or search engine site, etc). Instead of simply deleting said link, tag the dead link by adding <code><nowiki>{{DeadEL}}</nowiki></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.is]]. Usage of this tag will automatically include said article (or [[Special:Categories|category]]) into [[:category: FindDeadURLs]]. | This [[:Category:Housekeeping templates|housekeeping template]] is meant for tagging any <u>external links</u> which are unreachable (archived, 404 error, redirect to domain registration or search engine site, etc).
