This page gives information about using WebCite, which is an on-demand web archiving service. It is located at http://www.webcitation.org. By using WebCite, Wikipedia editors can reduce link rot by preserving a copy of an online source that can be accessed if the original page is moved, changes, or disappears.
How to archive
At the WebCite archive form, users identify the URL they wish to archive, as well as additional source-identifying information. WebCite requires users to submit an email address that will receive a confirmation or failure email. WebCite will then send you to a page with the links to your archived webpage.
Previously archived web pages are accessible through a searchable database. Users may search by URL, date, or by "Snapshot ID."
