To include a [[wiki]] article page to this specific 'Archived' category, you must first verify that <u>more than</u> the [[Wiki main page|main page]] is saved as an archive, '''''and''''' that at least ''some'' of the actual content pages are also archived (ideally, a significant quantity of the dead wiki has been archived). 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]]. Do <u>not</u> change the <tt>|status=</tt> field in the [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]] to 'Archived', as this is not an acceptable parameter of our [[WikiIndex:StructuredData|structured data]], and will flag up as an error.<!--The reason for NOT including this as an official WikiStatus is because most live wikis are also archived!--> | To include a [[wiki]] article page to this specific 'Archived' category, you must first verify that <u>more than</u> the [[Wiki main page|main page]] is saved as an archive, '''''and''''' that at least ''some'' of the actual content pages are also archived (ideally, a significant quantity of the dead wiki has been archived).
