This page contains the documentation for Template:File archive. It includes information about the template, such as usage and categories, and is not displayed when using the template itself.
This template is used to link to a local archive file of an external resource, such as a forum post, in case the external site goes down. This template must always be used for such files because it lists the page as linking to the file and removes it from Special:UnusedFiles. See also Category:Archive files.
Parameters
The only parameter is a single unnamed parameter, which is required and must be the name of the local file including the extension but not the File: prefix.
Examples
{{file archive|We're Still Watching You - Part 1.JPG}}produces: (local archive • info)
