WTN Market incident update template for status changes

Publish clear WTN Market incident notes with timestamps, scope, evidence and a defined next review. This guide treats WTN Market and WTNMarket search terms as research labels, not as proof that a destination is official or safe.

Open with time and scope

State when the WTN Market issue was observed, which published address was affected and whether the observation came from one or multiple checks. Avoid declaring a global outage from one failed request.

Use UTC or include the timezone so readers can compare updates reliably.

Describe evidence, not speculation

Say whether the symptom was DNS failure, timeout, certificate warning or application error. Do not assign a cause until there is evidence that supports it.

If the cause is unknown, say so directly and give the next review time.

Separate access from verification

An incident can affect a verified or unverified address, and service restoration does not change the verification result by itself. Keep both states visible.

Do not replace an offline destination with a new link until the new source and destination checks are complete.

Close the incident transparently

Add a resolution time, summarize what changed and preserve the earlier updates. Refresh the sitemap date only for pages whose public incident content changed.

Notify Bing through IndexNow for those changed canonical pages and monitor the next crawl.

Frequently asked questions

What should the first incident update contain?

Include the observation time, affected scope, observed symptom and the next planned review.

Does restored availability verify a new mirror?

No. Availability recovery and link verification are separate decisions.
