Previously archived web pages are accessible through a searchable database. Users may search by URL, date, or by "Snapshot ID."
==Use within Wikipedia==
Links archived with [[WebCite]] may appear in two forms. The first format displays the original URL and the date of archiving within the URL itself: <code><nowiki>http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.example.com&date=2009-11-04</nowiki></code>. The second form uses a 9-digit [[hexadecimal]] "Snapshot ID," similar to [[URL shortening]] services, to provide a more convenient link: <code><nowiki>http://www.webcitation.org/XXXXXXXXX</nowiki></code> Either is appropriate for use within Wikipedia. This URL can be inserted into the <code><nowiki>archiveurl=</nowiki></code> and its supporting <code><nowiki>archivedate=</nowiki></code> parameters in any of the [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation templates]].
