 | This template is used on 2,87,000+ pages, or roughly 80% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage మార్చు
Editors occasionally encounter dead links either within a paragraph or a reference citation.
Before considering whether to use the {{dead link}} template it is often useful to make a search for an archive copy of the dead link and thereby avoid using the tag altogether. All {{cite}} templates have the facility for adding |archivedate= and |archiveurl= parameters for linking to an archive copy.
Using {{Dead link}} will place a note by the URL and add the article to one of the Category:Articles with dead external links categories.
Append this template directly after the link or template, leaving the original link intact. Not doing so will prevent detection from automated tools. If the citation contains multiple URLs (e.g. chapterurl and url) in a template, and only one is broken, you can use <!-- hidden text --> to explain which one is broken.
If the article uses clickable footnotes, then this tag should be placed just before the </ref> that contains the dead link. The notice will then correctly appear in the reference section (instead of in the body of the text, which is not recommended).
Avoid using this template when the reference is fully adequate without the link. In this case, simply remove the link. For example, if a {{cite journal}} template is used with a DOI, remove the |url= parameter.
Avoid using this template to identify dead external links that are not used as references for article content. Instead, dead external links should usually be removed. See the guideline for external links.
- Common form (with current date)
{{Dead link|date=జూన్ 2024}}
Optional parameters మార్చు
url- Provides a history of the linked page via the Wayback Machine. Set only if history actually exists, as otherwise it is misleading to users and editors.
date- Month name followed by year, for use by the categorization system. Use
date=జూన్ 2024.
If you don't add a date parameter, a bot will date your entry with the month and year at a later time. bot- Bot accounts specify the
|bot=parameter as a sign that the tag was added by an automated process. Set asbot=<bot name>.

Caveats మార్చు
- Avoid using free links (e.g.
http://motherpreferred.blogspot.com/2018/08/todays-deals.html{{Dead link}}) as software unable to handle templates may read an incorrect link. Add brackets if necessary. - Avoid complicated formatting. Nesting inside a template is generally not supported well.
- Avoid using [ ] { | } < > characters between the end of the external link and {{Dead link}}, as they are often used to format text.
