Line 1: ;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). The Wayback Machine can "go back in time" and display a page at what it looked like during a particular time period. For example, at [~~http~~https://web.archive.org/web/19990117032727/http://www.google.com/ this URL] we can see what Google looked like on January 17, 1999. Nostalgic, right? ;Usage Line 6: <pre> {{Wayback\|url=\|title=\|date~~=\|df~~=}} </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 a the full archive link using the URL you supply in this parameter. :'''date''' (optional but recommended) Line 17: ::'''To find the timestamp''', go to the URL of the archived page. For example: :::<nowiki>~~http~~https://web.archive.org/web/</nowiki><span style="color:#FF0000">20060529225355</span><nowiki>/http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page</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}}). --> ;Examples '''Link to page history, using a generic label''' Line 45: Produces: {{Wayback \|url=http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page \|title=The Sims Wiki, a database for The Sims series that anyone can edit \|date=20090330042921 }} ~~'''As above, but with DMY date ordering'''~~ ~~<nowiki>{{Wayback \|url=http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page \|title=The Sims Wiki, a database for The Sims series that anyone can edit \|date=20090330042921 \|df=yes }}</nowiki>~~ ~~Produces: {{Wayback \|url=http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page \|title=The Sims Wiki, a database for The Sims series that anyone can edit \|date=20090330042921 \|df=yes }}~~ ~~'''As above, but without title'''~~ ~~<nowiki>{{Wayback \|url=http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page \|date=20090330042921 \|df=yes }}</nowiki>~~ ~~Produces: {{Wayback \|url=http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page \|date=20090330042921 \|df=yes }}~~ ;Credits :This template's code originated from the [[wikipedia:Template:Wayback\|original version on Wikipedia]]. <noinclude>[[Category:Template documentation]]</noinclude>
