<noinclude>If you have determined that a [[wiki]] is '{{tag|Private}}', meaning you are denied access, but believe the [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] to be active (or you have access, but know it is private), then you may use the following {{tag|Boilerplates|boilerplate}} if you only have its main page URL.  However, if you are aware of more of its URLs, such as 'about', 'recent changes', 'statistics', etc, please consider using {{template|Wiki}}, and use [[:File:Private.png]] as its logo.</noinclude>

If you have determined that a [[What is a Wiki|wiki site]] is '{{tag|Private}}', meaning you are denied access, but believe the [[wiki]] site to be active (or you have access, but know it is private), then you may use the following [[:Category:Boilerplate|boilerplate]] if you know only the URL for its [[Wiki main page|main page]].  However, if you <u>are</u> aware of more of its URLs, such as: 'recent changes', 'about', 'statistics', etc., or know other identifying information such as: 'engine', 'license', 'maintopic', etc., please consider using our main or primary infobox template: [[template: Wiki]], and use [[:file: Private.png]] as its logo, or preferably, 'Private' as a short-code in the <code>|logo = </code>&nbsp; field. All infobox external URLs <u>must</u> start with <tt>http://</tt> or <tt>https://</tt>, whereas {{Cambridge-Dictionary|prose}} links in the description can also use any existing [[interwiki]] link for external sites, along with conventional 'internal' [[wikilink]]s.
