{{Tlx|Cbignore}} (Cite Bot Ignore) is a flag that informs participating bots (such as [[User:InternetArchiveBot|InternetArchiveBot]]) not to fix a dead link or to otherwise leave a citation alone for whatever reason. (For example, if the bot is making alterations to the reference that it should not make.) {{Tlx|Cbignore}} might also be used by other bots (see talk page for more info)—any participating bot can use this tool as a way to selectively ignore citations.

==Instructions==

=== For references ===
==== Examples ====
* <code><nowiki><ref>{{cite web|...}}{{dead link}}{{cbignore}}</ref></nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki><ref>{{cite web|...}}{{cbignore}}{{dead link}}</ref></nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki><ref>{{cite web|...}}{{dead link}}</ref>{{cbignore}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki><ref>{{cite web|...}}</ref>{{cbignore}}{{dead link}}</nowiki></code>

=== For citation templates not inside ref tags ===
Place this template directly after the affected citation template or relevant archive or dead-link templates.

==== Examples ====
* <code><nowiki>{{cite web|...}}{{dead link}}{{cbignore}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{cite web|...}}{{cbignore}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{cite web|...}}{{cbignore}}{{dead link}}</nowiki></code>

=== For external links ===
Place the template directly after the link's closing square bracket.

==== Example ====
* <code><nowiki>[http://bubblesmcgee.com]{{cbignore}}</nowiki></code>

== TemplateData ==
{{TemplateData header}}
<templatedata>
{
"description": "Place this template immediately after a citation template or a external link to prevent bots such as InternetArchiveBot from changing the link.",
"params": {}
}
</templatedata>
