Template talk:Cite
Can there be an option to show the language of the source? I forgot to mention in the proposal that it could be added as another parameter. Or a format parameter for digital publications so that, let's say for web manuals, a (PDF) is displayed next to the title to show the reader the format of the publication?

Dead links
If the original link in a source is dead, I find it more accessible to format the citation like this. Basically, the original link is replaced with the archived one and is moved to the archive's summary through an added "from the original" field. I don't really know if there is a formal, established reason for doing so, but I think it's a helpful feature to have in the (unlikely, but possible) event one reads a wiki article through, say, the Wayback Machine, as clicking the original link from there will lead the user to an archive of it directly. (The archive link itself can't be used with Wayback Machine, since it does not archive its own archives.)br>Could a deadlink parameter be added to the code so that, when given a value, the template is reorganized as I explained above? -- KOOPA CON CARNE 20:22, February 7, 2024 (EST)
