Quick reference

edit

WP:WEBARCHIVES gives details of (all?) available web archiving services. This may be helpful when discussing this template and its Lua module.

Yeah I made that page, and this template, the template is largely up to date displaying those archives. But thanks for linking to that page it is relevant. -- GreenC 15:48, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

This needs an "lc" flag

edit

... for occasions where "Archived" is not the start of a sentence. I tried "title=archived", but that adds a second copy of the word "archived" after e.g. "Wayback Machine" in parentheses.

P.S.: This also could benefit from an option for when the template is already part of a parenthetical - to avoid nested parentheses like "(Inaccessible as of 10 October 2010; Archived at the Wayback Machine (archived 2009-09-09))"

P.P.S.: Why are dates in this template presented differently from those in the "As of" template?

P.P.S.P.S.: Please ignore the P.P.S. above. I just found the answer to this question at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Webarchive/Archive_2#Read_article_date_format - although I'm somewhat disappointed by what I read there.

I modified a few links to test the webarchive model in this article Albedo I have no problems with its use, however I have a problem transforming the web city model. What do we do with the other parameters? What are your recommendations?Pmartin (talk) 21:31, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Access date

Why does this template not support |access-date=? BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:07, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Because it would be redundant at best and misleading at worst. A web archive is intended to show a web page as it appeared on a certain date, regardless of when that archive is accessed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:23, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
