This page is for requesting modifications to URLs, such as marking dead or changing to a new domain. Some bots are designed to fix link rot; they can be notified here. These include InternetArchiveBot and WaybackMedic. This page can be monitored by bot operators from other language wikis since URL changes are universally applicable.

@Jindam vani: Domain reported dead. Links archived (in 58 pages), and IABot database updated. -- GreenC 14:35, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@GreenC: thank you <_> jindam, vani (talk) 14:55, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The website Catholic News Service is dead since 30 December 2022, due do a decision of the USCCB taken months priors. See this statement. A new website, OSV News, currently has Catholic News Service's former URLs, but it all the previous articles do not seem to be present on OSV News (example). All the links to previously published CNS articles currently link to 404 errorson the OSV News website.

Therefore, my bot request is as follow: all Catholic News Service links added prior to 30 December 2022 should be marked as dead and archive URLs be added.

A discussion on the WProject Christianity seems to support my request. Veverve (talk) 00:18, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Veverve: ok, it is done. - GreenC 15:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@GreenC: Sometimes, the URL was left as "live" (e.g. here). All those URLs should be put to "dead".

Also, why did you choose Archive.today and not Archive.org? Or did you choose both with one being preferred? Veverve (talk) 18:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The "left live" appears to be a bug related to the combo of empty archive-* fields and filled url-status field, thanks for identifying. It's been fixed and re-ran on pages eg. [1]. It uses archive.today when it can't find a Wayback URL. -- GreenC 01:34, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@GreenC: for example, the very first link of Dicastery for Evangelization is archived on Archive.org, but the archive URL which was added was that of Archive.today. Veverve (talk) 03:26, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This happened because the API result from Wayback is what I call "bogus" meaning it's unreliable. This is because the Wayback API timed out and reported 0 results (it reports 0 not "times out" so you don't know which is what) so it used other techniques and it found the archive but it wasn't sure how reliable it was so it defaulted back to an alternative provider where one existed. -- GreenC 03:42, 4 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Is it possible to make a bot that replaces old links with new links that the old links redirect to?

The old BYU Library findingaids (pages that explain the contents of a collection within a special collections) are through the URL https://findingaid.lib.byu.edu. Right now, they redirect to their parallel URL on our new archivesspace pages in most cases. I would like to change the URLs, because one of my colleagues informed me that the old URLs may not redirect indefinitely. I have done a few hundred manually but there are still some 600 left. Occasionally, there is an error in the redirect (for example, with item-level things from the folklore collection) and human intervention is useful. If you can limit the bot to change links in the external links section, I can manually change links that are used a references (to ensure that the same information is present). Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 20:46, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Rachel Helps (BYU), hi I can do this but can't limit based on where the URL is on the page. Do you have an example of a redirect error I can learn from? -- GreenC 18:21, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That would be amazing--I can cleanup links in refs. Here is an example that works: on Mary_Elizabeth_Rollins_Lightner#External_links, https://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/Vault%20MSS%20363 redirects to http://archives.lib.byu.edu/repositories/14/resources/7316. Most of the items in the folklore collection will have errors though, because item-level cataloging for this collection was removed (they have FA in the URL). One example I've preserved in the reference authored by Kristi Young on Alice Louise Reynolds. https://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/FA%205/4.18.9.1.1/ redirects to the error page http://archives.lib.byu.edu/repositories/14/archival_objects/76703 (for this particular source, the original was preserved on archive.org https://web.archive.org/web/20150107211032/https://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/FA%205/4.18.9.1.1/). I've already fixed most of the FAs; the remaining ones, #s 4-10 on the special link search, are still there because they're sources, not just external links. Another error example I found was https://findingaid.lib.byu.edu/viewItem/UA%201020/Series%204/box%202/folder%204/ on LDS Hospital (probably another item-level item that was eliminated with the transition to archivesspace). Looking for more error examples on the last 500 items in the special link search, I think that most "Series"-level links will have errors. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Rachel Helps (BYU) this should be no problem, the error page returns a 404 code which the bot detects and will attempt to find an archive URL to replace with. I'll run 50 articles or so and you can check to make sure it's on the right track. I need to process about.com (below) first, this is an urgent job involving a usurped domain, then will return here in a few days, thanks for your patience. -- GreenC 03:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Rachel Helps (BYU), ok got it faster than expected. The bot made 50 edits can you look and report any problems? It starts at Tracy Hall at the top through to Charles L. Walker. If it looks OK I'll do the rest.-- GreenC 19:09, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It seems the site is dead, but it says 403 instead of 404. Like this. So I guess they are better replaced or tagged as dead links. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Reported. User:Billinghurst, I can usurped domains with WaybackMedic according to process at WP:USURPURL but only on Enwiki. If the domain is blacklisted at the wiki level I probably can't because the blacklist will prevent the bot from editing the page. In which case the blacklist will need to be lifted for the bot to run. -- GreenC 22:07, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@GreenC: suspended the global blacklist to allow for cleanup m:special:permalink/24351246, it will take ~15+ minutes to flow through. Please ping me to let me know when to reimpose the blacklist on this domain. Thanks for the work in this area. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Billinghurst, thanks. It will probably take a couple days to work through. -- GreenC 02:37, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Billinghurst, about.com is composed of many sub-domains. User:Harej reports there are about 1,000 subdomains. There are only 22 pages on Enwiki that are pure www.about.com (or about.com) URLs, which are the one's hijacked. The remaining 10k pages or so have sub-domains, and they are not hijacked. Examples: [2],[3], [4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9] - they redirect to new domains. One is a 404, one or two are soft-404s, the rest are good content. Any thoughts what to do? -- GreenC 17:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

We just marked the entire domain as permadead. It's odd that the base domain is hijacked, while the subdomains are not. Something funny is happening here. I'm starting to believe that about.com is actually compromised, not usurped. This requires more investigation. —CYBERPOWER (Around) 17:17, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dotdash Meredith indicates that 'about.com' has been dead-site-walking since 2017, instead should be dotdashmeredith.com. But I have no idea what content moved over or about sub-properties. DMacks (talk) 17:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Actually I don't think there is any problem.. it appears about.com was purchased by Dotdash Meredith. See the bottom of [10] which redirects to thoughco and it says "ThoughtCo is part of the Dotdash Meredith publishing family." It all looks legit. -- GreenC 17:32, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@GreenC:We don't do redirect domains, and all these urls have been usurped. The content at the old urls is not the content that it was originally, and we don't know what will ever be at the seat of these redirects, so our replacing them back to the archived is appropriate. People can link directly to the (new) domain(s) of interest if they consider the target relevant, those base domains are unimpacted by this blacklisting. We are just removing the capacity of redirects, and firming up the urls originally utilised (as shoddy or as good as they were at the time). The recent examples of additions are showing clear sign of spammy additions and needing firmer control rather than hiding under a base redirecting url. — billinghurst sDrewth 21:50, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK I understand what your saying about using the original URL (ie. archive of it) for verification purposes. i don't see malicious behavior by Dotdash Meredith though? Such as spam. If I had some examples of that, it will help to document why this is being done. It will touch 10k articles and in most cases the content looks legit so I think people might say something about archiving and usurping a legit-looking URL. In some cases it will even mark the URL dead, when no archive is available, even though a working redirted URL is there. -- GreenC 22:53, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

All good if you don't want to change the links to archival links. There is zero need to add for new additions with an about.com redirecting url, our real users can add the actual url. So it will just be the spambots that we are seeing. I will reactivate this on the m:spamblacklist. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:27, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Interesting test case, can the whitelist override the blacklist? (Yes, I know it can.) What if we whitelisted archive.org. Then adding archive URLs shouldn't be in issue in any case. We should try that. —CYBERPOWER (Chat) 20:09, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

the problem is that then archive.org could be used by anybody to circumvent the whole blacklist. -- seth (talk) 23:03, 16 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

but: partial whitelisting of archive.org works, e.g. via

Hello. It seems like the old domain of the Korea JoongAng Daily (koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com) has been usurped and is now sending spam. Luckily, it seems like most to all of the articles from the old domain exist in their new domain (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) but with a different url convention.

Example (from The Journals of Musan):

• Old link: http://koreajoongangdaily.joinsmsn.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2936295
• New link: https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2011/05/16/socialAffairs/Movie-provides-gritty-look-at-defectors-struggle-in-the-South/2936295.html

In addition, other news websites and microblogs that were in a joinsmsn.com subdomain are impacted but I'm not sure if there are new links for anything other than the Korea JoongAng Daily. ―sitting in a fridge <3 coolmato 23:59, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Nemo bis,  Done via JWB. I accidentally had global regex matching disabled and made several edits to some articles, oops :) Best, EpicPupper (talk) 02:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks! Search results have not updated yet, so there are still almost 1200 matches. Some of these seem real, for example [11] on Zürich. I've not used JWT, but if it finds articles by regex search you might need to switch to a broader search, because I'm not sure regex search is working right now.

Also, [12] was not updated on Troy. If you're using a space delimiter after the URL match, you may need to use \b instead. Nemo 06:15, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This kind of work is more complicate then it might seem there are different file types (pdf, txt, wav etc) that should be handled differently, and different types of file structures at IA to deal with. it took me a while to find all the issues and develop code for it that gives reasonable results. It's not a simple search-replace thought sometimes it is. I have developed code for it and can process them, but some people get upset about it, so I have been hesitant to try and fix them all in one go, and just catch them incidentally when the bot happens to process an article with one there. Possibly I could modify it to only process when the link is dead so there is no question that something should be fixed. -- GreenC 14:30, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Handled differently how? Do you have an example? The links in the form https?://ia[0-9]+.us.archive.org/[0-9]+/items/(.+) always go to the mere file download just like the /download/ URL. The trouble begins if you start operating on the various other kinds of URLs which might include things like us.archive.org/view_archive.php or various views like /stream/ . I'm not proposing a complete normalisation of all IA URLs, only the /download/ ones which are definitely going to break. Nemo 07:14, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It's in about 1,300 pages. I'm running it now, for links that are already dead. The others will rerun periodically after they die. Some users don't get it, I don't want to deal with them unless the link is already dead in which case they have no basis. -- GreenC 16:13, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Current: https://honours.pmc.gov.au/honours/awards/887388

I started making these changes, but there is too many for non-bot edits. In addition, in the citations, it might be worth removing the link to the Internet archive and removing the parameter with the status of a dead link.

Starting point:

• basic search with category (there is more without the category filter).
• Search pattern: ([^/])http:\/\/(?:www\.)?itsanhonour\.gov\.au\/honours\/\w+\/.+?aus_award_id=([0-9]+)[&\w=]+

There's currently a notice at https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/films-videos-sound-recordings/Pages/films-videos-sound-recordings.aspx saying they're moving the content to their new website at https://library-archives.canada.ca/eng. I would like to request an archive of any bac-lac.gc.ca links just in case. Here are some examples. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:08, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is actually a web archive provider: Wikipedia:List_of_web_archives_on_Wikipedia#Canada_(bac-lac.gc.ca). I think we'll have to wait for the move to see what the new URL structure is, then modify existing links to the new site. Hopefully a simple change of https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng to https://library-archives.canada.ca/eng -- GreenC 23:26, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
