Usage
This is a template to set the current preferred archive domain. We currently use archive.today and web.archive.org. Both use the same URL formatting. By default this links to archive.today, but archive.today has a redirect to web.archive.org as per attached image.

How To:
- Archive the resource using https://archive.ph/ or http://web.archive.org/ (preferably the former).
- Once archived, get the long share link.
- Copy the text after the domain (everything after http://archive.today/ or http://web.archive.org/web/)
- Add the template and paste the text into the URL parameter.
