Category:Archived: Difference between revisions

To include a [[:Category:All|wiki site]] article page, and / or a [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]] (article or category page), and / or a [[:Category:Wiki farm|wiki farm]] (article or category) to <u>this</u> specific 'Archived' [[category]]; you <u>must</u> first verify that <u>more than</u> the [[Wiki main page|main page]] is saved as an archive, ''<u>and</u>'' that at least ''some'' of the actual content pages are also archived (ideally, a significant quantity of the dead wiki site / engine / farm has been archived).  If so, first, [[edit]] the relevant article or category page here on WikiIndex to change all existing (dead) URLs in the said dead wiki site / engine / farm 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]] (or other appropriate [[:Category:Infobox template|infobox template]], such as [[Template:Wiki engine|wiki engine]] or [[Template:Wiki farm|wiki farm]]), 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 <u>bottom</u> of the relevant dead wiki site / engine / farm article [[edit box]].  Do '''<u>not</u>''' change the <tt>|status =</tt>&nbsp; field in its infobox template to 'Archived', as this is not an acceptable parameter of our [[WikiIndex:WikiIndex:Structured data|structured data]], and will flag up as an error.<!--The reason for NOT including this as an official WikiStatus is because most LIVE wiki sites are also archived!-->

:''See also:'' [[:category: Dormant]] (for live online wikis that ''could'' have [[edit]]ing activity, but ''do not''), and [[:category: Dead]] (for wikis which ''are'' permanently offline, but ''failed'' to be archived).
