විකිපීඩියා වෙතින්

Usurped domains are used by spammers, squatters, malware, SEO, phishing or other fraudulent activity. Typically they are legitimate domains that expired and were hijacked.

How to usurpify a citation

[සංස්කරණය]

The following is a decision tree for each citation. It can be followed manually, or implemented algorithmically by bot.

  • Does the source URL have an archive available? If yes...
    • Is it in a CS1|2 template (eg. {{cite web}})? If yes...
      • Add |url-status=usurped, |archive-url= and |archive-date=
    • Is it a square-bracketed or bare URL? If yes...
      • Wrap the archive URL (with or without square brackets) in {{usurped}}
  • Does the source URL have an archive available? If not...
    • Can the citation be verified if the URL was removed (e.g. newspaper or journal content off-line)?
      • Remove the URL and keep the citation
    • Is the citation unverifiable without a URL (e.g. web-only content)?
      • Remove the entire citation per WP:V: unverifiable
