Quick reference
WP:WEBARCHIVES gives details of (all?) available web archiving services. This may be helpful when discussing this template and its Lua module.
- Yeah I made that page, and this template, the template is largely up to date displaying those archives. But thanks for linking to that page it is relevant. -- GreenC 15:48, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

"Archive.today" is uppercase, but the original and Misplaced Pages page names are lowercase (archive.today). Is it possible to correct it? Thank you. 126.140.222.220 (talk) 10:58, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

- As a logo it is lowercase, but when used in grammatical sentences not so sure. Unclear the wiki page is accurate or consistent (there are cases of upper in the article). Since it is a proper noun lean towards upper, but also the template is not producing full grammatical sentences, space, brevity and clarity take precedent. -- GreenC 00:42, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
- I think it makes sense to keep it lowercase - it looks like the article only uppercases it at the start of sentences (

Incorrect documentation
The table at the bottom states for nolink that "Any value including blank means no wikilink". In fact, nolink= has no effect. A non-blank value is required. Chimango Caracara (talk) 10:42, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Please replace line 102:
= {false, 'Pandora Archive'},
with:
= {true, 'Australian Web Archive'},
(The National Library of Australia relocated the Pandora Archive to the broader Australian Web Archive in March 2019.) ClaudineChionh (talk – contribs) 09:24, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Bad
Apart from (a) why can't I just fix this myself, I have to point out that this template and documentation are both bad.
The template is bad, it provides text such as <original page title> at webarchive <some date>. So if the original web page title was "There was a fire", the template inserts the text There was a fire at webarchive, 15 Jan 2020, or similar.
And the documentation which is on the main page where I am commenting because I find only this read-only documentation and not any way for a user to amend the broken[REDACTED] you maintain, is incorrectly telling people that what the template inserts is something like, Archived at webarchive <some date>. For you to fix.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PRETENSE OR EXCUSE, PUBLISH MY BARE IP, EVER. I HAVE ASKED YOU THIS A MILLION TIMES. I WILL NOT REFRAIN FROM CORRECTING YOUR BROKEN WIKI, BECAUSE WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? I WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU EMAIL, USERNAME, OR PASSWORD, AND I WILL NOT EXPEND EFFORT ON MEMOIZING A USERID OR PASSWORD PROVIDED BY YOU.
