Page you were editing: Jim Chu (filter log) (user filter log)
Description: I was trying to convert bare text citation to Cite web syntax, per^[1]

The existing bare text archive URL is to a deprecated archival service - which I added as a non-displayed edit note for future reference, but MediaWiki still tries to parse it - creating a CS1 maint: deprecated archival service message and this prevents me from saving the above edit. Is there another way around this that would allow the original archive URL to be preserved for the record?

Comments: Not done – The filter is working properly. No. You cannot link to archive.today or any of its mirrors like archive.ph. There's no point in putting it in a hidden comment instead of visibly linking it. Your edit was trying to add an archive.ph link outside a comment as well. Unfortunately, the original link is not preserved in the Wayback Machine, meaning it's probably best to mark it with {{Permanent dead link}}. (I also removed the archive.ph link present in this report; please do not link to this service under any circumstances.) SuperPianoMan9167 (talk) 00:55, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
