For servers with local archival capabilities: A plug-in for the Mediawiki platform that achieves the following:
- Sets the Link header to an internal Special:TimeGate page.
- Checks for the existence of an Accept-Datetime header in the client's request.

For clients wishing to parse the Link Header in responses:
