Need help in archiving links. Borgenland (talk) 12:41, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Borgenland: Ambiguous comment. Are you offering to help or asking for help? Assuming you are asking for HELP, see Wikipedia:Archiving for some links that might help. For link to sources cited in articles, read WP:DEADLINK. If you are using the Wayback Machine, read WP:WAYBACK. For archiving talk pages read WP:ARCHIVE. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 18:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I initially tried to do things myself but I got confused with the instructions so I ended up posting the section. Thanks for the tip tho! Borgenland (talk) 01:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I have found with archived links is that many links cited in Wikipedia already exist at the Wayback Machine. If they don't, then they probably cannot be archived because the website owner's don't want them to be. The first thing to do is to check if an existing URL to a citation has already been indexed by the Wayback Machine, which has a URL search box on the home page just for that purpose. If you ever need to index a web page URL, there is another box on the home page to register the new URL to the citation. If the Wayback Machine has found and indexed the URL you are looking for, it will return a results page of the crawls it has done and the date range indexed. I have found it easiest to check either the first or last crawl date in the date range and find the version you want from there. The URL of the archive version you are viewing shows in your web-browser's address bar and that is the URL you want to copy to Wikipedia's citation templates as the "archive-url". The "archive-date" is the date of the crawl. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 17:19, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
