Template:Cbignore

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{cbignore}} is a flag that informs participating bots (such as InternetArchiveBot) not to fix a dead link. It is typically useful if the bot is making alterations to the reference that it shouldn't make. In certain cases {{cbignore}} might also be added by other bots, see the talk page for more information.

Instructions

• <ref>{{cite web|...}}{{dead link}}</ref>{{cbignore}}
• <ref>{{cite web|...}}</ref>{{cbignore}}{{dead link}}

For Citation templates not inside ref tags
