Question about news links at Archive.org

I love that folks use these archive.org links like this one here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20231125030342/https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article281901303.html

How are they finding these or making them? Let’s say I’m reading NYTimes or something, what do I do to link to the same article but archived?

    Just open the main page of archive.org and paste the URL into the search field, and you’ll see all the copies they have archived.

      To add; if it hasn’t been saved yet you’ll be given an option to archive the entry itself. It takes a bit of time, but well worth it!

        How many more steps is it to archive it?

          Just a click to initiate, no need to have an account or anything. I’d suggest grabbing the url of any recent article and give it a spin.

    I use the browser extensions for convenience: https://web.archive.org/
