Template:Cbignore/doc

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{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.
