The correct title of this article is Template:dead link. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

Use {{dead link}} when you find a dead external link within a paragraph. Append this template after the link, leaving the original link intact. This template is designed similar to {{fact}}, so it will not disrupt the flow of the text in the article.
