{{cbignore}} (Cite Bot Ignore) is a flag that informs participating bots (such as InternetArchiveBot and WaybackMedic) 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 shouldn't make. {{cbignore}} might also be used by other bots - any participating bot can elect to use this tool as a way to selectively ignore citations.
