{{tl|{{PAGENAME}}}} is intended to simplify the linking process to files at the Internet Archive "[[Wayback Machine]]".

{{see also|w:Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machine|Template:Dead link|Template:Query web archive}}
:''Additionally, {{tl|Cite web}} provides an [[Template:Cite web#Optional parameters|archiveurl]]''

== Parameters ==
<nowiki>{{Wayback|url=}}</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{Wayback|url=|title=|date=}}</nowiki>

;url: The URL of the link that is being referenced in the Internet Archives; ''not'' the link to the archive.org page, the template will automatically generate the full archive link using the URL of the referenced page.
;title (optional): The text label for the external link. If this is omitted, a generic 'Archive copy' label will be used.
;date (optional, but recommended): The Internet Archive timestamp (<code>YYYYMMDDhhmmss</code>) for the date of the archived page that is to be displayed. If provided, the Template will format the date and display it : Month-name, day-number, year. If omitted, the history of the referenced page will be listed instead. You must use the full 4 digits for the year, and 2 digits for month, day, hour minute and second. use leading zeros if necessary, and use a 24 hour clock for the time.
;df (optional): When a date is specified, set this to "yes" to output dates day-first (e.g. {{#time:j F Y}} rather than {{#time:F j, Y}}).

== Examples ==
;Link to page history, using a generic label:<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ }}</nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ }}

;Link to page history, using a title rather than the generic label:<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title }} </nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title }}

;Link to page history using a title, and displaying a particular archived date (2005-01-07, at 12:30 pm and 45 seconds.):<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 }} </nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 }}

;As above, but with DMY date ordering:<nowiki>{{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 |df=yes }} </nowiki> → {{Wayback |url=http://example.org/ |title=Example Title |date=20050107123045 |df=yes }}
