Including |deadurl links for link rot (UPDATE: see url-status=live(dead)  elsewhere in this section -- Sharl928 (talk) 20:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC))
To include an archived alternative in the event of link rot (from Link_rot): For most citation templates, archives are entered using the required |archiveurl=, |archivedate= and optional |deadurl= parameters. The primary link is automatically switched to the archive unless |deadurl=no; the |deadurl= parameter can simply be omitted. To pre-emptively supply an archived version of a URL that may later go dead, |deadurl=yes (or y, or true) will change the display order, with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end. When the original URL has been usurped for the purposes of spam, advertising, or is otherwise unsuitable, setting |deadurl=unfit or |deadurl=usurped suppresses display of the original URL (but |url= is still required). (or start with

in which case use to refer to the same reference again later on in the entry

My edit of Bud Cummins (new section on his brief & minimal involvement in the Ukraine thing) was edited, changing  |deadurl=no  to  |url-status=live . I had not seen this before, and I don't know if it is preferred by most/all of Wikipedia editors, or by the particular editor or algorithmic bot that edited me. Whatever, I'll try to use it in the future. The "opposite" command is  |url-status=dead .

Trying out the ref name formatting.

So this works! The ref name formatting CAN be combined with the cite web formatting, with use of the closing /ref tag.

On June 29, 2017 it was reported that Radio Sputnik would discontinue its broadcast to the Washington, DC area on WTOP HD-2 (103.5-HD2). From the cited reference:"DCRTV hears that the English language Radio Sputnik news talk service from the Russian government will get dropped from WTOP 103.5's digital HD line-up come July 1. The feed of the all-newser's Hubbard sister, Federal News Radio WFED, will take its place. WFED will continue to be heard via the digital offerings of WTOP's other area FM signals as well as on 1500 AM." On June 30, 2017 it was reported that Radio Sputnik would continue broadcasting to the Washington, DC area on a standard FM frequency, 105.5. From the cited reference:"...Today we hear that, starting July 1, Radio Sputnik will be heard on the low-power 105.5 signal from Bethesda, giving it decent coverage inside the Beltway and into the northwestern and western suburbs. The 105.5 signal, technically known as W288BS with 95-watts, is licensed to communications attorney John Garziglia's Reston Translator firm in Reston..." Sharl928 (talk) 05:29, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

NOTE: my experience was that this feature doesn't work with the "parent" cite, but only with  follow-on cites that reference back to the parent. The Help sub-section (linked above) seems to confirm this.

There is a separate way to direct the cite to go directly to a specific page in a .pdf document - a different animal from the stuff above - but the .pdf reader has to be compatible with the wiki code. Described further in sub-section Linking_to_pages_in_PDF_files"Links to long PDF documents can be made more convenient by taking readers to a specific page with the addition of #page=n to the document URL, where n is the page number. For example, using http://www.domain.com/document.pdf#page=5 as the citation URL displays page five of the document in any PDF viewer that supports this feature. If the viewer or browser does not support it, it will display the first page instead."
