Issues with the template
How do I use it to just insert a specific link from Wayback?
For example, Half-Life's original website
If I try inserting the part after /web/, with the numbers, it automaticaly precedes the numbers with a 9, and breaks the link.
Generally I think the most use it would have is specifying exact pages. Specifying the general mirror of a page sounds unwise, as it can in the future become a later capture after some website broke or got sold or something else.
Specifying the time in the link feels like extra work when I already need to find that on Wayback itself.
I'd suggest a minimum amount of automation, so that editors can simply insert the page-specific part of the link and it would autocomplete it (from the 'front') with https://web.archive.org/web/... because the most likely use for people is going to be inserting specific links they already found.
