{{info|1=This template is intended for [[Wikipedia:External links|external links]]. It is not designed for use as a [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] for reliable sources.}}

{{tl|{{PAGENAME}}}} is intended to simplify the linking process to files at the Internet Archive "[[Wayback Machine]]".

==Usage==
The template is typically used like this:
<pre>
{{wayback |url=http://example.com |date=20160807231935 |title=My page}}
</pre>

*{{para|url}} is the original URL, not the Internet Archive URL.
*{{para|date}} is the 14-digit Internet Archive snapshot ID obtained from the Wayback website.
*{{para|df|n}} will render the date in MDY format. This is the default.
:{{para|df|y}} will render the date in DMY format.
:{{para|df|iso}} will render in YYYY-MM-DD

For more options, see "Parameters" below.

==When to use==
The template was originally designed for the <code><nowiki>==External links==</nowiki></code> section, on talk pages and any place ''except'' inside a <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>pair. Over time however the template has also been used within ref pairs if the original citation is not a CS1 [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation templates]] (such as {{tl|Cite web}} and {{tl|Cite news}}). Ideally in such cases, rather than adding the wayback template, the citation should be changed to a CS1 template and the archive link added to {{para|archive-url}} and {{para|archive-date}}. Bots are not always able to do this conversion and they will sometimes tack-on the wayback template to the end of a non-CS1 citation.

== Parameters ==
<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=}}</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{Wayback |url= |title= |date=}}</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{Wayback |url= |title= |date= |nolink=}}</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{Wayback |url= |title= |date= |nolink= |df=}}</nowiki>

;url: The original source URL, ''not'' the full link to archive.org
;title (optional): The text displayed for the external link. If this is omitted, a generic 'Archive copy' label will be used.
;date (optional, but recommended): The Internet Archive timestamp ID (<code>YYYYMMDDhhmmss</code>). This can be obtained by looking at full the archive.org URL. If the date is omitted or {{para|date|*}}, the archive history page will be listed instead. Use the full 4 digits for the year, 2 digits for month, day, hour minute and second. Use leading zeros if necessary, and use a 24-hour clock for the time.
;df (optional): If {{para|df|yes}} or {{para|df|y}} then dates will be displayed in DMY format (e.g. {{#time:j F Y}} rather than {{#time:F j, Y}})
:If {{para|df|iso}} then dates will be displayed in YYYY-MM-DD format
;nolink (optional): If this argument is present, containing any value or empty, the wikilink for ''Wayback Machine'' will not be used (eg. Wayback Machine instead of [[Wayback Machine]]).

== Examples ==
;Link to page history, using a generic label:<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ }}</nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ }}

;Link to page history, using a title rather than the generic label:<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title }} </nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title }}

;Link to page history using a title, and displaying a particular archived date (2005-01-07, at 12<nowiki>:</nowiki>30 pm and 45 seconds):<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 }} </nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 }}

;As above, but with DMY date ordering:<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 |df=yes }} </nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 |df=yes }}

;As above, but without title:<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |date=20050107123045 |df=yes }} </nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |date=20050107123045 |df=yes }}
