This template is to leave broken external links where they are, but make it apparent that they are broken. They shouldn't just disappear if they were an important source of information. They may provide an important clue to where one might find similar information. Someone can later fix the link or find a new source.

== Usage ==
<pre>{{ brokenlink | url | text }}</pre>

For example:
<pre>{{brokenlink|http://www.poetsonbroadway.com/|Tony Jay's homepage}}</pre>
:yields
{{brokenlink|http://www.poetsonbroadway.com/|Tony Jay's homepage}}

Use these field names if the URL or text fields contain an equal sign:
* '''<tt>url</tt>''' is the URL of the link
* '''<tt>text</tt>''' is the text of the link

<pre>{{brokenlink|url=http://www.poetsonbroadway.com/|text=Tony Jay's homepage = awesome}}</pre>
:yields
{{brokenlink|url=http://www.poetsonbroadway.com/?a=b|text=Tony Jay's homepage = Awesome!}}
</noinclude>
