Template:Template doc page viewed directly

Use {{dead link}} when you find a dead external link within a paragraph or a reference citation. Append this template after the link, leaving the original link intact. This template is designed similar to {{fact}}, so it will not disrupt the flow of the text in the article.

Parameters

url (optional)
Provides a history of the linked page via Wayback Machine. Do not set if no history is provided as this does not help other editors.
date (optional)
Given in month name followed by year for use by the categorization system. Use {{subst:DATE}} which yields date=July 2024.

Examples

Dead external links:

[http://example.org/ title]
[http://example.org/ title]
[http://example.org/ title]

Replaced with:

[http://example.org/ title]{{dead link}}
[http://example.org/ title]{{dead link|date=July 2024}}
[http://example.org/ title]{{dead link|url=http://example.org/|date=July 2024}}
