This page gives information about using [[WebCite]], an on-demand [[web archiving]] service, at [http://www.webcitation.org/ http://www.webcitation.org/]. By using [[WebCite]], Wikipedia editors can reduce [[link rot]] by preserving a copy of an online [[WP:RS|source]] that can be accessed if the original page is moved, changes, or disappears. Not all web pages can be archived, however.<ref name="wcfaq" group="nb">[http://www.webcitation.org/faq WebCite FAQ:] A page may not be archived for a number of reasons. The page owner may specifically prohibit archiving of their content through no-cache / no-archive tags, or via a robot exclusion policy on their site. The content may be inaccessible from the WebCite® network (this is particularly likely if you are attempting to access subscription based content which your institution subscribes to on its users' behalf). Also, the content may be unreadable by the WebCite® archiver (complex JavaScript based pages, or ones involving browser checks sometimes cause our archive engine to fail).</ref>
WebCite can archive a range of content, including [[HTML]] web pages, [[PDF]] files, [[Style sheet (web development)|style sheets]], [[JavaScript]], and [[digital image]]s. Another web archiving
