{{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 | |||

*[https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/collection Australian Web Archive] - For Australian websites specifically. | |||
