WarningThis template is used on approximately 113,000 pages.

{{Cbignore}} (Cite Bot Ignore) is a flag that informs participating bots (such as InternetArchiveBot) not to fix a dead link or to otherwise leave a citation alone for whatever reason. For example if the bot is making alterations to the reference that it should not make. {{Cbignore}} might also be used by other bots (see talk page for more info)—any participating bot can use this tool as a way to selectively ignore citations.
