I have already changed the Archive.today links to other archive services, so there is nothing you need to do on your part. I'll bring it up in the staff Zulip channel that we need to better inform editors beyond just a project page that most aren't likely to visit. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 06:04, 14 April 2026 (UTC) | I have already changed the Archive.today links to other archive services, so there is nothing you need to do on your part.

Archive.today links
[edit source]Thanks for helping out on the LinkedIn page. :)
Just to note for future reference, please use archival websites other than Archive.today when dealing with citations. This is because both Wikipedia and CRW have blacklisted the website for its owner's unacceptable behavior, which included using unwitting visitors in DDOS attacks and editing captured screenshots. (See Projects:Archive everything#Archival services for alternatives.)
