-In some situations only a single link is appropriate, rather than both the original and the archive link side-by-side. For example, in some of the [[Fatwa: It is Permissible to Use the "Torah and the New Testament... for Anal Cleansing after Defecation"|Translations of Arabic/Islamic Media]] pages. For these, the [[Template:Reference archive|Reference archive]] template should be used.
+Embedded links to external websites should never be used as a form of inline citation. Nevertheless, they are used on occasion, for example, in the [[Fatwa: It is Permissible to Use the "Torah and the New Testament... for Anal Cleansing after Defecation"|Translations of Arabic/Islamic Media]] pages. In these rare instances, only a single link is appropriate, rather than both the original and the archive link side-by-side. For these, the [[Template:Reference archive|Reference archive]] template should be used.
 To use this template, the target URL would have to be archived by entering it into the WebCite archive form (http://www.webcitation.org/archive).
