This is a merger proposal for, , and  (aka ). The new template is. The idea for creating a single archive template came out of a previous TfD discussion here.


 * Background: The number of web archiving sites is now extensive: List of Web archiving initiatives. Each one could have its own named template.


 * Proposal: A single template for all web archiving sites. Template documentation how it works.


 * Advantages:


 * A single template for all archives, instead of dozens of separate templates for each service.
 * A single documentation page and single set of arguments to remember, instead of a confusion of different methods and output.
 * Simple usage. In most cases only two arguments are needed. The argument values are WYSIWYG.
 * Support templated linking to many archiving services currently not supported, except by bare links.
 * Multiple archive URLs for a single source URL. This idea came from . It's an important feature for dealing with Wayback's robots.txt policy blocks, for example, which can flap on and off.
 * Better integration with WP:Link rot bots that only need to program around a single template.
 * The new template has features and abilities the other templates are missing, such as tracking categories, date verification, warning messages, etc.


 * Merger:

The rendered output of looks as close as possible to the original templates so there will be little disruption to pages.

If there is consensus to merge, I'll create a merger bot and apply for Bot approval where it will be tested and approved before running. -- Green  C  20:52, 23 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment Conditional support : I think that the Webarchive template should use url for the original URL and the above named archiveurl for the archive link to avoid confusion between the two. Any other problems can be worked out later. – Allen4names (contributions) 19:35, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah I didn't do the CS1 style argument naming for a couple reasons. Happy to discuss it though, and if there is consensus (ie. I can't sway your view and others) I will change it, not stuck on it. Would you support a merge in principal, knowing we can work other things out as needed? -- Green  C  03:27, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Agreed including the option presented by Evad37 below if that is preferred. – Allen4names (contributions) 04:12, 25 October 2016 (UTC)


 * comment, seems like a good idea. I agree with Allen that we should use url for the original and archiveurl for the archive. Frietjes (talk) 20:40, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, happy to discuss it. Same comment as above basically, would you support a merge in principal, knowing we can work out changes to the template as needed? --  Green  C


 * Agreed by same conditions as Allen. I'd also like to point out that the Template:Webarchive section needs some MOS:NDASHing. ReGuess (talk) 03:08, 26 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Agree Merging them would be very helpful and machine-readable. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:28, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Support merge per my comments at the previous TFD and template talk pages. I'm not too fussed about the parameters being  rather than , given that the template name includes "archive". Some parameter for the original url (that the template will just ignore and not mark as an error) does seem reasonable, given that some services give an archive url which doesn't indicate the original url (Webcite at least, perhaps others). But it doesn't necessarily have to be url, which is commonly used in the existing archive templates to indicate the archived url (and thus changing its meaning may make the merge harder to complete). Perhaps origurl or originalurl or similar? - Evad37 &#91;talk] 03:37, 25 October 2016 (UTC)


 * WebCite has a long-form URL (includes the orig URL) which we are supposed to use per this recent RfC. That covers 100% of the URLs in the merge proposal. Agreed we can have something like origurl for archives that use short URLs without a long option (presume they might exist in the future but don't know of any). -- Green  C  04:37, 25 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge Per the discussion above. However, I don't understand Allen's proposal: "...Webarchive template should use url for the original URL and the above named archiveurl for the archive link". Is he asking for inclusion of the [non-archived] original link in the template? That seems superfluous, as the rationale is that the template adds archive link(s) to a pre-existing original link. 72.43.99.138 (talk) 00:15, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I have cleaned up links to archives that should have used the original URL ie. https:/ /web.archive.org/web/*/${archiveurl} instead of https:/ /web.archive.org/web/*/${url}. At the very least there should be a parameter that accepts the original URL and does not trigger an error message. – Allen4names (contributions) 02:54, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The above error was caused by a bot's data input error (ie. bug), and have been cleaned up (by me manually in the 100s). It's unrelated to template requirements and isn't indicative of how people normally use the template. The template will have functionality for the original URL though the need for it will be extremely rare. We are not supposed to use short-form archive URLs because url-shortening services are disallowed by policy, they can be used to hide blacklisted links. All archive services I am aware of have the option for long-form URLs (including WebCite) and thus there is no need for storing the original URL in the template as it's already there. Nevertheless I'll include the option for storing the original URL should an archive service in the future not support long-form URLs. -- Green  C  16:41, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I see. In this case I support the nomenclature change to archiveurl. 64.134.101.48 (talk) 13:55, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * There will be functionality to support the original URL. That functionality will not be needed or used during the merger process - it will be there, but it won't be used because there is no reason to. What the original URL argument is called (url, origurl, etc) we can discuss on the template talk page but it won't effect the merger one way or another. -- Green  C  02:09, 27 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Support merge ... but do we need these templates at all? As Green Cardamom says, has parameters archiveurl and archivedate – why not simply use those parameters within  (etc.) instead of one or more special archive templates? — Stanning (talk) 13:54, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah I once thought that as well, but learned there is a lot of overhead with CS1|2 that's not needed for this application so we have lighter specialized templates for external links. -- Green  C
 * Ah, OK. But I'd submit, the priority on a site like this should surely be simplicity of the UI for not-necessarily-experienced editors. If there's so much overhead with Module:Citation/CS1 that it seriously impacts performance, shouldn't that problem be addressed, since CS1|2 is used on 3,000,000+ pages already? [I know nothing about CS1|2 or Lua, but I've plenty of experience elsewhere with the performance–usability trade-off.] — Stanning (talk) 19:23, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Probably have to take that up at Help talk:Citation Style 1 but be prepared as it gets technical and requires some knowledge of the broader architecture. As background you could see this reply by Izno; and this comment thread by Tothwolf. -- Green  C  01:50, 27 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment [EDIT] Support merge per talk above, I'm prepared to support merging on the proviso that url and archiveurl remain distinct parameters. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:08, 27 October 2016 (UTC)  --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:00, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * There will be functionality to link to the original URL, though such cases will be extremely rare (none during the initial merger). -- Green  C  01:05, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Support merge. Simplifies including multiple archive sites. And I like that the documentation is clear easy to understand. StarryGrandma (talk) 04:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Support more Research. See fr:Wikipédia:Prise_de_décision/Système_de_cache and fr:Aide:Liens_externes. French wikipedia uses de:Wikiwix for archiving, for example : fr:Big Brother and the Holding Company. Surprisingly English and Français pages for Wikiwix no longer exist, only Wikiwix Español, Wikiwix 日本語, Wikiwix Norsk bokmål, Wikiwix Polski, Wikiwix Português, Wikiwix Русский, Wikiwix Türkçe and Arabic exist. Xb2u7Zjzc32 (talk)
 * User:Xb2u7Zjzc32, thanks for the lead on Wikiwix never heard of it. There's no API for checking if a URL is archived or not, and header response codes return 200 even when a page doesn't exist(!) so it's unusable for bots which is how most archiving is done now. There's also no snapshot dates to know when the archive was taken. According to this page the archive is deleted from Wikiwix if the external link is removed from Wikipedia; presumably that doesn't include checking if the link is still on English. For the past few years, all links added to Wikipedia have been archived at Wayback. Wikiwix also archived all links added to Wikipedia, but only for a limited set of languages. So there is overlap but Wayback has the larger archive, more reliable and usable for bots. -- Green  C  15:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge A no brainer. Afernand74 (talk) 10:45, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 *  Conditionally support Merge. Great idea., but use url for the original URL and archiveurl for the archive link, per Allen4names above. —RCraig09 (talk) 20:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC) revised per GreenC immediately below. —RCraig09 (talk) 22:30, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The template provides functionality for the original URL and uses origurl for a number of reasons. The template purpose and name already includes "archive" so it's superfluous to signify a second "archive". Some parameter for the original url is reasonable, but it's usage is so rarely needed in the 80,000 merge cases, it will be used zero times. url is commonly used in the existing archive templates to indicate the archived url and thus changing its meaning may make the merge more confusing. Including a parameter called url will encourage editors to use it, but its usage creates interaction problems with scripts like Checklinks which will attempt to "rescue" the dead link it contains, leading to bad data in the template, so we want to keep usage to minimum only when required. We also want to encourage use of long-form URL, not short-form + origurl. The template is not CS1|2 and shouldn't be confused as such with CS1|2 nomenclature - editors will reflexively type in other args like accessdate etc.. which I have seen done in  mistaking it as a CS1|2 aware template. --  Green  C  21:33, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
