{{Cbignore}} (Cite Bot Ignore) is a flag that informs participating bots (such as InternetArchiveBot) not to fix a dead link or to otherwise leave a citation alone for whatever reason. For example if the bot is making alterations to the reference that it should not make. {{Cbignore}} might also be used by other bots (see talk page for more info)—any participating bot can use this tool as a way to selectively ignore citations.
Instructions
For references
- Examples
<ref>{{cite web|...}}{{dead link}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|...}}{{cbignore}}{{dead link}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|...}}{{dead link}}</ref>{{cbignore}}<ref>{{cite web|...}}</ref>{{cbignore}}{{dead link}}
For citation templates not inside ref tags
Place this template directly after the affected citation template or relevant archive or dead-link templates.
- Examples
{{cite web|...}}{{dead link}}{{cbignore}}{{cite web|...}}{{cbignore}}{{cite web|...}}{{cbignore}}{{dead link}}
For external links
Place the template directly after the link's closing square bracket.
- Example
[http://bubblesmcgee.com]{{cbignore}}
