Template:US DOS
This article incorporates public domain material from websites or documents of the United States Department of State.
This template is added to articles using public domain material from the United States Department of State.
This template will categorize articles that include it into Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the United States Department of State.
The template is based on {{Include-USGov}} and has the following parameters, all optional:
Parameters
[edit]- url (optional) - the address of the page we've used
- title (optional, but required if url is used) - the title of the above page
- author (optional) - author of page
- accessdate (optional) - date page last checked
- comment (optional) - comment that will appear in parentheses
URLs
[edit]The State Department periodically archives its website. The URLs move. This can cause URLs on Wikipedia to break.
The archive domains:
Example: https://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/rm/07/83999.htm moved to https://2001-2009.state.gov/s/ct/rls/rm/07/83999.htm
If a URL https://www.state.gov stops working, try the three archive versions. Note that sometimes page dates and archive dates do not match eg. a page from 2005 might be in the 2009-2017 archive. Not all pages are archived, in which case an external archive such as the WaybackMachine might be checked. The new URL might also be found by searching on the document title at the current state.gov website.
