If so, first, [[edit]] the article to change all existing (dead) URLs in said dead wiki article to those of the actual archived URLs from their appropriate archiving service ([[Archive.org]] and / or [[archive.is]]); in the [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]], the [[Template:Size|size template]], and any other wiki URLs which may be included within the prose. Secondly, 'tag' the word <tt>archived</tt> somewhere within the prose of the article if possible; alternatively, add <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Archived]]</nowiki></tt> at the bottom of the relevant dead wiki article [[edit box]]. | ||
