archive.is
referring to a site which seems
not to be, or include, a wiki.
However, it still refers to, or is
pertinent to the subject of wikis.
archive.is, officially known as archive.today – webpage capture, found at its URL archive.is (and also available at archive.li and archive.md), is a privately funded web archiving service website from Europe. It was previously known as Webpage archive (oddly formerly at archive.today, which now redirects to either archive.fo or archive.ph).
archive.is is similar to the WaybackMachine from the Internet Archive at Archive.org. However, archive.is differs from Archive.org, in that within its archives of saved pages, it does not provide active follow-on 'in-page' live links (URLs and / or wikilinks). Furthermore, archive.is claims that "Saved pages will have no active elements and no scripts, so they keep you safe as they cannot have any popups or malware!" In effect, archived URLs on archive.is are saved as a single 'flat' page; whereas on Archive.org, they still contain live internet links (within Archive.org).
One great feature of archive.is is that saved pages are available under a shortened URL link, similar (though not identical) to goo.gl and bit.ly. Another feature is that it saves both a textual snapshot, and a graphical image snapshot of the archived page.
