:Actually, it's kind of annoying (at least when using a web browser) because of the "auto-download". This can be avoided by setting "url-status=deviated". Then it just shows straight up in the browser without saving a persistent copy in the local filesystem. Of course, you might want to make a note (perhaps just in the wikitext), that you're setting the url-status to deviated because accessing the archive copy is actually more convenient.

::{{Re|Fabrickator}} I had asked a related question just <s>[[Wikipedia:Teahouse#Source getting auto-download|below]]</s> [[#Source getting auto-download]] before doing it. They say there is no guideline for it.

:::{{Re|ExclusiveEditor}} I have just gone and fixed this as I proposed. If the user clicks on the link, it "just works" with no surprises, aside from being the archive copy. The original link remains available, but that results in the PDF download. [[User:Fabrickator|Fabrickator]] ([[User talk:Fabrickator|talk]]) 20:22, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
