Perma.cc support

I added support for the Perma.cc web archiver. In the process I also added the ability to call the webarchive function with arguments (i.e. as {{#invoke:webarchive|webarchive|url=http://perma.cc/F9NT-22AK|date=2015-04-09}} in addition to the preexisting {{#invoke:webarchive|webarchive}} (which grabs arguments from the parent). This makes the module easier to invoke from Scribunto test cases, which I added at Module:Webarchive/testcases and Module talk:Webarchive/testcases. —RP88 (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"at" versus "on"

Re: this[1]

If the rendered text said "Archived on Wayback Machine" I could see this, but most of the time it says "Archived August 3, 2015 at Wayback Machine" which is a shorthand way of saying "Archived on August 3, 2015 at the Wayback Machine". If we said "Archived on August 3, 2015 on the Wayback Machine" it's a repetitive use of "on" and it doesn't sound right. What is the "on Wayback Machine" shorthand for in this context .. It's confusing. "at the Wayback Machine" is unambiguous and without repetition. -- GreenC 14:28, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
