;Description
:This template can be used in [[Help:Cite|footnotes]] as an easy link to a page's entry at the [[wikipedia:Wayback Machine|Wayback Machine]]. This is especially important for fixing a dead link (a link whose target no longer exists).

;Usage
Line 6:
<pre>
{{Wayback|url=|title=|date
</pre>
:'''url'''
::This is for the URL of the page that is being referenced ''by'' the Wayback Machine - '''not the actual URL of the archive on the Wayback Machine'''. This template will automatically generate
:'''date''' (optional but recommended)
Line 17:
::'''To find the timestamp''', go to the URL of the archived page. For example:
:::<nowiki>
::The numbers that are highlighted in red is the Wayback Machine archive timestamp. Copy that and paste it into the date parameter.
Line 23:
:'''title''' (optional but recommended)
::The text label for the external link. If this is omitted, a generic 'Archive copy' label will be used.
<!-- NOT WORKING - requires a template that doesn't exist on The Sims Wiki
:'''df''' (optional)
::When a date is specified, set this to "yes" to output dates day-first (e.g. {{#time:j F Y}} rather than {{#time:F j, Y}}).
