Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template allows you to link to a Wayback Machine or archive.today capture, and also get the original URL and human-readable timestamp. It also automatically prioritizes the archive if the original is dead, and the original if it is still alive (this may not work for some time after the first edit).
