Edit-copy green.svg.png This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dead link (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
Shortcuts:
{{404}}
{{dl}}
{{broken link}}

Use {{dead link}} when you find a dead external link within a paragraph or a reference citation. Doing so will place a note by the URL and add the article to one of the Category:Articles with dead external links categories.

Append this template directly after the link or template, leaving the original link intact. Not doing so will prevent detection from automated tools. This tag should be placed just before the </ref> that contains the dead link. The notice will then appear in the footnote reference (instead of in the body of the text, which is not recommended).

Usage[edit source]

Common form (with current date)

[dead link]

Optional parameters[edit source]

url
Provides a history of the linked page via Wayback Machine. Set only if history actually exists, as otherwise it is misleading to users and editors.
date
Given in month name followed by year for use by the categorization system. Use date=August 2025
If you don't add a date parameter, a bot will date your entry with the month and year at a later time.
bot
Bot accounts will specify the |bot= parameter to notify the others that the page was tagged by an automated process. Set as bot=ExampleBot.

Examples[edit source]

  • <ref>{{cite web |url=http://example.org |title=title |accessdate=2000-01-01 }} {{dead link |date=April 2005 }}</ref>
