-<WRAP warning>  * No-Intro DATs are sourced from Dat-o-Matic. There are occasions where a DAT is locked for editing or database cleanup. If you see a No-Intro DAT marked as "Discontinued" you should disregard and monitor over the next several days. This basically means the DAT was not available at the time DatVault tried to fetch an update. If you see a DAT discontinued for multiple days in a row, then the DAT may actually be discontinued.</WRAP>
+===== Why do some No-Intro DATs say Discontinued when they are not? =====
+No-Intro DATs are sourced from Dat-o-Matic. There are occasions where a DAT is locked for editing or database cleanup. When a DAT is locked it is not available for download so it is marked as Discontinued until the download is available again.
