'''Category:FindDeadURLs''' — this [[Special:Categories|category]] here on [[WikiIndex]] will contain [[:Category:All|wiki]] [[article]]s and / or other [[categories]] which have dead external links in their prose (but ''not'' including primary links in their [[:Category:Infobox templates|infoboxes]]).  This will hopefully prompt other [[editor]]s to search for updated URLs (if the original URL schema has subsequently been revised, or it is hosted on a new domain).  Or if the actual wiki site (or [[:Category:WikiFarm|wiki farm]] or [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engine]]) is [[:Category:Dead|dead]]; search the online [[:Category:Archived|archives]] for said dead external links; maybe somewhere like the ''WaybackMachine'' from the [[Archive.org|Internet Archive]] at [https://web.Archive.org Web.Archive.org], or the [[archive.is|Archive Today]] at [https://archive.is archive.is].  Articles and / or sub-categories are automatically included in this specific [[category]] when the <code>{{Template|DeadEL}}</code> template is used.
