*** <b id="csdoc_archivedate">archive-date</b>: Archive-service snapshot-date; preceded in display by default text "archived from the original on". Use the same format as other access and archive dates in the citations. This does not necessarily have to be the same format that was used for citing publication dates.{{r|date|group=date}} Do not wikilink; templated dates are discouraged. See [[#csdoc_auto-date-format|"Automatic date formatting"]] above for details about interaction with {{tlx|use dmy dates}} and {{tlx|use mdy dates}}. Alias: '''archivedate'''.

*** <b id="csdoc_urlstatus">url-status</b>: this optional parameter is ignored if '''archive-url''' is not set. If omitted, or with null value, the default value is {{para|url-status|dead}}.  When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set {{para|url-status|live}}; this changes the display order, with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end. When the original URL is 'live' but no longer supports the article text, set {{para|url-status|deviated}}.  When the original URL has been usurped for the purposes of spam, advertising, or is otherwise unsuitable, setting {{para|url-status|unfit}} or {{para|url-status|usurped}} suppresses display of the original URL (but {{para|url}} and {{para|archive-url}} are still required).

** <b id="csdoc_url_access">url-access</b>: {{crossref|See [[#Access indicators for url-holding parameters|Access indicators for url-holding parameters]]}}

* <b id="csdoc_format">format</b>: File format of the work referred to by '''url'''; for example: PDF, DOC, or XLS; displayed in parentheses after '''title'''. (For media format, use '''type'''.) HTML is implied and should not be specified. File format annotation is automatically rendered when a PDF icon is displayed. Does not change the [[Help:External link icons|external link icon]]. Note: External link icons do not include [[Wikipedia:ALT|alt text]]; thus, they do not add file format information for the visually impaired.  {{crossref|See [[Help:Citation Style 1#Using {{pipe}}format=|Using {{pipe}}format=]]}}

{{reflist|group=date|refs=<ref name=date>Access-date and archive-date in references should all have the same format – either the format used for publication dates, or YYYY-MM-DD. {{crossref|See [[MOS:DATEUNIFY]].}}</ref>}}
