If applicable, the link may point to the specific page(s) referenced. Remove tracking parameters from URLs, e.g. <code>#ixzz2rBr3aO94</code> or {{nowrap|<code><nowiki>?utm_source=google&utm_medium=...&utm_term=...&utm_campaign=...</nowiki></code>}}. {{crossref|For linking to pages in PDF files or in Google Books, see [[WP:PAGELINKS]].}} Do not link to any commercial booksellers, such as Amazon.com; use {{para|isbn}} or {{para|oclc}} to provide neutral search links for books. Invalid URLs, including those containing spaces, will result in an error message.

** <b id="csdoc_accessdate">access-date</b>: Full date when the content pointed to by '''url''' was last verified to support the text in the article; do not wikilink; requires '''url'''; use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations.{{r|date|group=date}} ''Not required for linked documents that do not change.''

** <b id="csdoc_archiveurl">archive-url</b>: The URL of an [[Web archiving|archived]] copysnapshot of a web page if the original URL is no longer available. Typically used to refer to services such as [[Internet Archive]] {{crossref|(see [[Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machine]])}}, [[WebCite]] {{crossref|(see [[Wikipedia:Using WebCite]])}} and [[Internet Archivearchive.is]] {{crossref|(see [[Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machinearchive.is]])}}; requires '''archive-date''' and '''url'''. By default (overridden by {{para|dead-url-status|nolive}}) the archived link is displayed first, with the original link at the end. Alias: '''archiveurl'''.

*** <b id="csdoc_archivedate">archive-date</b>: DateArchive-service when the original URL was archivedsnapshot-date; preceded in display by default text "archived from the original on". Use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations. This does not necessarily have to be the same format that was used for citing publication dates.{{r|date|group=date}} Do not wikilink; templated dates are discouraged. See [[#csdoc_auto-date-format|"Automatic date formatting"]] above for details about interaction with {{tlx|use dmy dates}} and {{tlx|use mdy dates}}. Alias: '''archivedate'''.

*** <b id="csdoc_deadurlcsdoc_urlstatus">deadurl-urlstatus</b>: the default value of this optional parameter, is ignored if '''archive-url''' is not set. If omitted, or with null value, the default value is {{para|deadurl-urlstatus|yesdead}}. Equivalent values are <var>y</var> or <var>true</var>. When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set {{para|dead-url-status|nolive}}; this changes the display order, with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end. When the original URL has been usurped for the purposes of spam, advertising, or is otherwise unsuitable, setting {{para|deadurl-urlstatus|unfit}} or {{para|deadurl-urlstatus|usurped}} suppresses display of the original URL (but {{para|url}} isand {{para|archive-url}} are still required). Alias: '''deadurl'''.
