Web archives in references

Hello, and welcome!

It seems like you're doing some great work expanding articles. I just wanted to clarify the use of "Dead URL" in citations, because it isn't explained well anywhere. It took me ages to figure out – it gives a bit of detail in the template, here. Anyway, that parameter is generally yes or no, and is used when pre-emptively archiving a site – when the original URL still works, but an archived version still exists. Then you can set it to "no", and it will just switch the formatting around a bit. It'll automatically assume "yes" unless specified otherwise. The old URL usually stays in "URL" even when it no longer works, and the archive website goes in "Archive URL".

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me here, or on my talk page.

Hello, I'm NinjaRobotPirate. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Keith Fink seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
