What happens if I use as a reference a website that has disappeared in
the time since I added the information? It then becomes unverifiable.
Presumably the info, like the website it was sourced from, must disappear?
If you have properly recorded the time at which you accessed the website
(are you using {{cite web}} ?) it is quite simple to construct an automatic
link via the Wayback Machine.
If memory serves, {{dlw}} and {{dlw-inline}} are related to this...yes, they
are. If it proves sufficiently common, it should be possible to adapt the
various {cite ...} templates which all "url" parameters to accommodate an
option to provide a historical link if necessary.
Actually, come to think of it, given that we encourage people to record the
time when they viewed a given URL, it might not be a bad idea to channel
*most* of them through the Wayback Machine so as to link to the state of
said URL when it was used as a reference...
