You can help deprecate WebCite!
Ideas to get rid of WebCite links:
Line 28:
# Find a different origin URL on the live web. For example, if the origin URL is to a Reuters story published in the NYT, there is a good chance that same Reuters story is available elsewhere. Use Google to search.
# Saving the WebCite link at archive.today works well and is recommended, however .. '''do not save at archive.org''' see "Things to be cautious of" below.
# PDF files at WebCite do not save correctly at archive.today
When saving a WebCite URL at archive.today follow these steps:
# Save https://www.webcitation.org/5QE8rvIqH?url=http://www.birdlife.org at archive.today which will generate short-form URL https://archive.today/Jrvg8
# URL shortening is disallowed on Wikipedia, it is required to be long-form, which would be: https://archive.today/20070710111036/http://www.birdlife.org/
# However this long form may not work, due to a bug or limitation at archive.today when saving WebCite links
# Instead, expand to a long-long form, which in this case will be: https://archivetoday/20070710111036/https://www.webcitation.org/5QE8rvIqH?url=http://www.birdlife.org
