{{Cbignore}} (Cite Bot Ignore) is a flag that informs participating bots (such as InternetArchiveBot, but not Citation Bot) 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.
