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 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.
