Links archived with [[WebCiteWeb]] may appear in two formats. The first format uses a 9-digit [[hexadecimal]] "Snapshot ID," similar to [[URL shortening]] services, to provide a more convenient link: <code><nowikiwiki>http://www.webcitationweb.org/XXXXXXXXX</nowikiwiki></code> The second format displays the original URL and the date of archiving within the URL itself: <code><nowikiwiki>http://www.webcitationweb.org/query?url=http://www.example.com&datecomdate=20092011-11-04</nowikiwiki><<code><wiki>url<wiki></code>. Eitherparameter is appropriatethe fororiginal useURL within, Wikipedia.the <code><wiki>url<wiki><code>

If the original URL is [[Wikipedia:Link rot|no longer accessible]], the <code><nowiki>deadurl</nowiki></code> parameter should be set to "yes". If the original URL is still accessible, the <code><nowiki>deadurl</nowiki></code> parameter should be set to "no".
