Dealing with dead links in refs
Hi, just wanted to give you a heads up about what to do when you find a dead reference on Wikipedia. Rather than removing them, you can check to see if they're archived at the Wayback Machine or elsewhere. The Wayback Machine at archive.org hosts thousands (millions?) of now-dead internet links, and we can use those URLs in citations. If you're using Visual Editor and you click on the citation link, there will be a field labelled "archive URL" that you can put the archive.org link in, along with the archive date. If you're in the source editor, you can add and fill in these parameters inside the citation template: |archive-url= |accessdate=. This helps us preserve references rather than remove them :) Thanks for editing! &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:43, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
