The correct formatting for an archived citation will look something like this:

The '''minimum''' correct formatting for an archived citation requires the title, url, archive-url, and archive-date fields and will look something like this:

The full list of possible fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

The full list of possible additional fields can be found here: {{Wplink|Template:Cite web}}. All you need to do is archive the relevant un-archived webpage (or find an archived copy closer to the date the reference initially accessed it), and then update the reference with the archival link.

This can either be done through the source editor (in which case citations will look like the text block above) or through the visual editor's citation tool (this can be found by clicking Insert -> More... -> Citation, or pressing crtl+shift+k).
