Hello is there a "Dead link"-like template for geoblocked links, such as https://itsapkgru.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-pubg-mobile-kr-download-no-1-unleash-the-korean-action/Bouzinac (talk) 09:24, 20 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

{{Cite web|...|url-access=limited}}. It would probably be better if we had some way to indicate this issue in particular, instead of just "limited".  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  22:17, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

If a cited url is both dead and previously unarchived, the template documentation says to use |fix-attempted=yes. That essentially means that the [permanent dead link] is going to stay appended to that source for all time. Is my understanding of that accurate? — Fourthords | =Λ= | 18:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Infections are usually asymptomatic or cause a mild flu-like illness, with symptoms including fatigue, headache, muscle aches and fever. Many people then experience a second stage of the illness with symptoms such as a characteristic facial rash, often called a “slap” rash, followed by joint pain and swelling and a general body rash.

Subst

edit

@Primefac, Izno, AP 499D25, HouseBlaster, and Sdkb: After the close of Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2024_August_30, I updated the docs to use subst: Special:Diff/1243135182/1244781426 but the results were unexpected, see the Examples section. This might be because Help:Substitution#Limitation says subst does not work inside ref tags. But that is where this template would most often be used. The TfD was probably closed in unintended error since the agreed solution is not practical? -- GreenC 04:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done in by phab:T4700 again. Speaking for myself, I would support reopening the TFD so I can support deleting the template. I wouldn't object to a redirect to {{dead link}}. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:49, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
If substing ends up not working out due to technical limitations then I would prefer a deletion of the template rather than redirecting it to Template:Dead link again. Cheers, — AP 499D25 (talk) 05:58, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
AnomieBOT can subst inside of ref tags, so I just added it to the category directly and will let it handle it. Primefac (talk) 11:54, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
