wikipedia just does "$some-link-here (Archived $archived-version-link)", and it works pretty well, imo.

- notagoodidea 6y agoFor me that is the real solution when you know that the archived-link is the one consulted by the author/whatever and the normal one being the content (or its evolution).
- II2II 6y agoAgreed, and it shouldn't be too much of a burden to use since the author was quite clear about it being for reference materials. The idea isn't all that different from referring to specific print editions.
- canofbars 6y agoiirc wikipedia has some logic for this. When you add a reference it automatically makes sure the page is backed up and if not it triggers a wayback copy, then it scans for dead links in references and if one is found it replaces the link with wayback.
