Parameters
This template has nine parameters:
- quote=The text of the comment
- link=The URL of the comment.
- name=The name/username of the person that made the comment.
- site=The name of the website on which the comment was made.
- title=The title of the post, episode, article, or other work in which the comment appears.
- year=The year the comment was made. Dates are given in YYYY/MM/DD format.
- month=The two digit numeric value of the month (i.e. 01 for January, 02 for February, etc.) the comment was made.
- day=The two digit day the comment was made.
- defunct=A flag which can be set to mark the link as being dead, without any archive available.
If the link points to a Wayback Machine backup on Archive.org or an Archive.is backup, an "(archive link)" marker will be automatically appended.

- link=The URL of the comment.
- name=The name/username of the person that made the comment.
- website=The name of the website on which the comment was made.
