Forum:SH:Expired social media citations


 * A template has not always existed for social media citations in our articles, and social media citations being required to have screenshots was only established very recently. Unfortunately, for a combination of this site not always having a proper social media template and the screenshot requirement being a newer rule, some articles have relevant social media posts which have expired and have no backup links, making them impossible to trace. Even though there's nothing more than individual editors' word to back up what the dead links are citing, should those expired links still be used as a valid citation? Unfortunately, without the information period, some articles would be missing valid info, even if there's unfortunately nothing that can be done. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 03:23, July 27, 2015 (UTC)
