Description

Semi-useless template, mostly for Wikipedia content forking.

Rule of thumb for dead links: try https://web.archive.org/web/2/site before giving up. For example, if the link https://example.com is dead, see if https://web.archive.org/web/2/https://example.com gives a non-empty page (the 2 asks the Internet Archive "point me to your latest copy"). This is occasionally useful for old Wikia links.

Usage
