 ====Issues with Markdown====
-MediaWiki uses wikisource text format, which is not Markdown and does not natively support Markdown. While a plugin can enable support for Markdown between `<markdown></markdown>` blocks, it disrupts the Visual Editor and prevents proper editing.

+===Archived citations===
+{{Main|Projects:Archive everything}}
+To maintain verifiability for our articles, archiving these citations are crucial in case websites go offline temporarily or permanently (also known as {{Wplink|link rot}}). Here are resources for archiving websites yourself or acquiring past archives:
+*[https://archive.org WayBack Machine (archive.org)] - The most used and trustworthy resource for website archives.
+**Websites retain interactable aspects
+**Some websites such as [[X]] cannot be archived by this resource, or are [[List of companies that block Internet Archive|specifically excluded]] (''e.g.'' [[Bambu Lab]])
+**Honors [[DMCA]] take-down requests (see [[Internet Archive#Archived website removal]])
+*[https://ghostarchive.org/ Ghost Archive (ghostarchive.org)] - An English alternative.
+**Can archive nitter.net URLs to archive Twitter/X posts with comments included.
+*[https://megalodon.jp/ megalodon.jp] - A Japanese alternative. Some web browsers, such as [[Mozilla Firefox]], have a built-in web page translation function
+**May have a better result if experiencing trouble with both the Wayback Machine and Ghost Archive.
+*[https://preservetube.com/ PreserveTube (preservetube.com)] – Used for archiving YouTube videos
+**While the WayBack Machine might have some older videos archived, that is often not the case for newer and larger sized videos.
+*[https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/collection Australian Web Archive] - For Australian websites specifically.
+'''IMPORTANT:''' Archive.today is no longer used for archiving due to its owner {{Wplink|Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Archive.is RFC 5|weaponizing the website}} against a blog writer, which involved exploiting unknowing users to initiate {{Wplink|DDoS}} attacks and editing the content of archived pages.
