Record what survives
Keep the referring article’s title, author, date and link. Write a brief description of what it says about the vanished page. Distinguish that description from an actual recovered copy of the page.
Do not complete the story from a slug
A URL can contain a fragment of a sentence, but it may be truncated or edited. It is not enough to reconstruct a full post. Preserve the citation and avoid generating a plausible substitute.
Prefer a readable source trail
A short list of verifiable references is more useful than an apparently complete archive containing invented posts. This site leaves unrecovered post URLs unavailable while offering context through its original articles.
