This is an extension of Converting citation urls to archived copy to archive field. Basically, editors in addition to using archive.org for main |url=
, also sometimes treat other fields as if the citation is to Wayback. That is only fine for material made/published by Wayback (hence this is done only with task 4).
So: When moving archive url from |url=
to |archiveurl=
, also:
|publisher=
and/or |work=
field that contains (wayback|internet\s*archive|web\s*archive|archive-?it|archive\.org|web\.archive)|format=
field that contains (archive|wayback)Will be expanded if/when I find new cases.
