'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because ~~they~~ weaponised their site's visitors to ~~[[wikipedia:~~Denial-of-~~service_attack~~#~~Distributed_DoS~~|DDOS~~]] some guy's blogs~~ for bizarre internet argument reasons ~~(which calls~~ into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it~~), and it's~~ also ~~been alleged that they~~ have tampered with archive pages, which hurts ~~our~~ ability to rely on the site as an archive ~~which can be used to actually verify things~~ and ~~support~~ the claims made in articles.

'''Archive.today has been deprecated.''' This is because the owner weaponised their site's visitors to {{Wplink|Denial-of-service attack#Distributed DoS|DDOS}} a blogger for bizarre internet argument reasons, calling into question the reliability of the maintainer and site, and the ethics of using it. The owner was also found to have tampered with archive pages, which hurts a wiki's ability to rely on the site as an archive for verifying and supporting the claims made in articles.

As archive.today is run by one person who has now brought a lot of scrutiny onto themselves through their actions, there's also a very real risk that they just take the site down~~, so where practical it~~ would be sensible to migrate links archived using archive.today to an alternate archiving service.

===Alternative frontends & mirrors===

The following is a list of services that expose more lightweight, HTML-based, and ultimately more archive-friendly user interfaces of popular sites. '''They are not archival services in and of themselves.''' Some instances may have ~~captchas~~ that end up blocking certain archival services, try several.

* [https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances Nitter]: Allows for viewing Twitter/X replies without login and therefore only way to archive replies. The best way to cite Twitter/X references.

Line 41:

* [https://sci-hub.st/ SciHub]: Allows for the free and open access viewing of PDFs of many papers, great for getting around academic publisher paywalls to directly archive cited papers by archiving the SciHub page hosting the PDF. Alternatively, try reaching out to original authors and they will usually be happy to provide a copy for reference/citation on this wiki.

* [[Special:Upload|Consumer Rights Wiki]]: Upload screenshots of pages or PDFs for direct quoting or if an archival service cannot get past something like a registration-wall. Do not upload more of an article than is necessary for supporting the citation. Archive the CRW link or upload the file to [https://archive.org/upload Internet Archive file uploads] as CRW is '''not an archive on its own'''.

Please note that the links provided through these tools are '''not to be used in place of the original URL when being cited'''. The modified link is only to be used as a means for generating an archivable page for archival websites.
