Australian Dictionary of Biography

[edit]

The Australian Dictionary of Biography blocks many calls from "http://" so can any strings in articles like "http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography", "http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs" or "http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs" be altered to https:// please? (the template {{Cite Australian Dictionary of Biography}} was recently modified to add the "s" to https://) DivermanAU (talk) 02:23, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone able to assist here? By not having "https" the links to the old site do not redirect to the new site, so user will see a "Page not found" message. Or, as an editor for over 10 years, can I make the changes myself? (I just need a few instructions). DivermanAU (talk) 19:16, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do these requests chronologically and you are next in line (see the "Done" tag above this request). -- GreenC 19:54, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@GreenC ā€” Thanks so much for doing this! It really makes a difference to users reading these articles. DivermanAU (talk) 12:52, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for these fixes, I can see the entire old url has been changed to the new one, which is great. But I can still find 1,519 articles if I search insource:"http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs" including January 4, Type 26 frigate and Protectionist Party (the two External links) which result in "page not found" when the ADB link is clicked. ā€” DivermanAU (talk) 03:23, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are seeing a backend delay. Looking at Type 26 frigate, the URL in the wikitext is correct. -- GreenC 03:55, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, looks like you were right - it's just a delay. I can see those articles are fixed now! Thanks again! ā€” DivermanAU (talk) 05:57, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

billboard.com/articles/columns

[edit]

These links are redirecting to new URLs with various subdomains. Please note the following:

~15k

If any of these don't redirect, please let me know. I can see if the URL needs adjusting in order to make redirects. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:59, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MrLinkinPark333: I processed 5,000 pages (not uploaded) and the stats are:

You asked "If any of these don't redirect, please let me know": 108 archives, 54 live to dead, and 16 dead link templates. -- GreenC 04:32, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you see a pattern in the ones that didn't redirect? If you could post a few examples, I'll see if they got moved to new URLS. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:16, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Link rot/Cases/Billboard 50 sample wayback links. - GreenC 19:40, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I found that adding a ending slash to make this redirects to that for Falling Down (Selena Gomez & the Scene song) and Hit the Lights (Selena Gomez & the Scene song). This doesn't work for others. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:05, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK great, I'll add that rule and retry these that it missed. -- GreenC 20:52, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, the URL didn't have a slash at the time. In any case, I didn't find a lot of the other sample links. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:49, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see a problem. In Falling Down (Selena Gomez & the Scene song) [1]. Note the trailing query string "?page=0%2C1" which apparently is causing the redirect to fail. Removed and it works. I've never seen the query cause a redirect fail. Some variation of this query is in 66 pages. I just added a rule to remove it, reprocessed those 66, and only 2 URLs were fixed: the same two. Strange. -- GreenC 02:49, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Found that removing that string at Gabe McDonough makes a working redirect. Since it's a bare external link, I'm guessing the bot doesn't pick it up? MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:45, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That page was not in the list because the URL starts with billboard.com/biz/articles of which there are 1,800 -- GreenC 00:59, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. I misread the url. I was going to request billboard.biz in the future. I'll make a request soon as billboard ones have been fixed. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 05:41, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Billboard is like the BBC a monster domain. -- GreenC 14:44, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's probably more patterns, I only checked like 20 links. This is my first time here, sorry for any formatting issues. ClumsyOwlet (talk) 18:51, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1,507 pages
ClumsyOwlet: I would normally say this is impossible. There is no way to map this to that. However there is logic: given the last field "probation-act-for-ducie-after-donation-made" is common to both URLs, make a Google search of the site independent.ie for this common string. It correctly returns a match for the new URL. However, I can't automate Google searches without being blocked. But I can run Google Gemini (AI) queries, and ask it to run Google searches. This loophole works. It's not free, but Google seems OK with it so long a there is payment involved. Whose paying? My boss, The Internet Archive. I did some cost analysis, if I run the query 2,000 times it will cost $3.67 US total. I think we can afford it to repair all these URLs is cheap. This would be a new AI approach never done before. -- GreenC 05:08, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
AI is not working it is hallucinating too much. I came up with a different solution using "Ruled mapped inferred redirects" (last section) - basically it searches the WaybackMachine index for the common string. It misses some because the URLs are not in the WaybackMachine. I am out of tricks to find those, they will be converted to archive URLs. -- GreenC 20:50, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

bbc.co.uk misc

[edit]

Thank you for finding so many URL replacements for bbc.co.uk. There are 11k left, but not all of them will need fixing:

  1. URLs that end in .shtml tend to be working, with no changes needed. These pages will primary say that BBC archived the page. However, I found a broken link at Chordate. ~5k
  2. URLs that are not sport, news, or shtml tend to be working or redirect like this one. ~6k

The main things I see are either changing HTTP to HTTPS or archive fixes. As some of these links already have archived links in the article, this should hopefully be resolved quickly. Thank you again! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:22, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Using a different method of searching (SQL query), for #1 it returns over 29,000 pages, and for #2 is 134,000 pages. I think CirrusSearch can't accurately search in this case because if there is /news anywhere in the page it will not be reported. For example a page has two URLs - one with /news and the other not - it will skip the entire page since it contains /news. SQL shows every URL, you can filter and see which pages contain a URL pattern. -- GreenC 15:26, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Does it work better if you search with the website name, like this? It's giving me a lot more than I thought. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 16:09, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Better, but same issue: -insource:"bbc.co.uk/news/" means if this string appears anywhere on the page, don't list the page, even though there might be other URLs on the page that should be included. According to SQL, the number of pages containing a BBC url is about 150,000. There might be some /news or /sport in that 150,000 but those pages also contain other BBC links. It excludes pages that only contain /news or /sport. Since there is no real difference in how the URLs are processed, I suggest we consider the 150k as the primary set, then break down into smaller batches. It could be a lot of batches. If it runs as well as last time, very large batches are possible then it won't be many. I can start slow with small batches to see what problems come up. -- GreenC 16:41, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. I'm not sure which batch to focus on. A lot of them look to be working with no issues. I've found some with various issues:
Maybe you misunderstood what I wrote. There is no sense separating based on URL path, because every BBC urls needs to be processed. /teach, /sound/ etc.. all of them need to be checked: *.bbc.co.uk/* -- GreenC 20:11, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay. I didn't want you to waste your time. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:05, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's alright so far over 80% of the pages have a change. The results are similar in quality but more in quantity than /news and /sport .. The work is on the computer. It's actually more work to do separate projects because it requires creating a new project, updating configurations, downloading a list of target articles. By keeping it under the same project I only need to start a new batch ("Batch 1", "Batch 2" etc) which is fairly easy. If the projects require different configurations they need separate, but this project it's looking all the same. -- GreenC 00:02, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]


@GreenC: This seems to be changing lots of news.bbc.co.uk links to https when the https actually redirects back to http. Examples: [10] [11] [12] [13] In addition it's changing between news.bbc.co.uk/1/* and news.bbc.co.uk/2/* which seem to randomly redirect to each other. According to meta tags the former is the UKFS_URL and the latter is the IFS_URL which apparently stand for "UK facing site" and "international facing site", but something is seemingly misconfigured as they now redirect randomly from the same IP. EvenTwist41 (talk) 02:17, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It's on hold. I need to think about how to proceed. -- GreenC 05:11, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are two issues isolated to news.bbc.co.uk : A) https redirects to http B) /1/ redirects to /2/ and other way randomly .. there are also two piles of links: X) URLs already modified listed below. Y) URLs yet to be modified.
I think for A+X, it is best to leave them alone, it causes no harm, and maybe one day they will properly support https anyway. For A-Y, there is no compelling reason to switch to https. For B-X, this is harmless best left alone. For B-Y, same, best left alone not make any more changes.
End result: do nothing, except add code to skip processing news.bbc.co.uk going forward, at least when they only change is of type A or B. -- GreenC 20:19, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just saw this on a page I frequently edit. What did your bot do? It changed it from http to https. What was that for? Are you saying that whoever copied the url is wrong? There was nothing wrong with it in the first place! RandomEditorofWiki (talk) 14:01, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Right, discussed immediately above.. -- GreenC 17:49, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, so why did it matter? Whatā€™s the difference between it being http and https? RandomEditorofWiki (talk) 20:24, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

granitehighworld.com

[edit]

An HTTP era domain found in Rudolph G. Wilson that is now usurped; I assume it most likely was a high-school newspaper for Granite City, Illinois, but now it seems the type of site that'd go on the spam blacklist, with the Chinese text and the markedly not-high-school-friendly content of the site. Departureā€“ (talk) 20:28, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I don't know if it's cited in any other articles and I'm going to bring the article I found it on to AFD momentarily, but it doesn't hurt to check. Departureā€“ (talk) 20:34, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ClumsyOwlet (talk) 02:53, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This will be multi-step. Because the domain name has changed from http://www.yjc.news/fa/news/6228037 --> https://www.yjc.ir/fa/news/6228037 I can do a domain move on existing URLs. It will be configured so any that can't be moved will be set as |url-status=dead and archive URL added (or dead link tag). After that is complete, I will add the old domain to WP:JUDI, so those remaining links in the old domain get the usurpation treatment, as part of a future JUDI batch run. That should cover both moving the domain where possible, and the usurpation where a move was not possible. Unfortunately I can't easily do both at the same time as moving and usurpation are different types of processes. -- GreenC 02:31, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi Can you please change all web links with the domain name "coa.inducks.org" into the domain "inducks.org". There are hundreds if not thousands of them in Wikipedia. Here is an example of what should be done: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Junior_Woodchucks&diff=1311246207&oldid=1305819590 You can safely change any https URL with domain coa.inducks.org into inducks.org, except in archive.org URLs of course.

Since I don't have a login, it requires a "blind move" ie. switch the URL without verifying. Blind moves are risky, there are usually some links that don't work, but since there are only about 120 pages containing coa links, it is a better option than nothing. If it breaks things let me know I can try to repair. -- GreenC 00:48, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

villagevoice.com

[edit]

Many of these links need to be converted to new URLs like this. This will have to be in batches because it's not all the same method

[edit]

These parts needs removed to create the new URLs. There URLS may need more than one of these points removed:

  • Dates: These are /YYYY-MM-DD/ or /YYYY/MM/DD/.
  • Sections: These are usually after the date before the article name. They may be after .com like below. [15]
  • Sections with Numerical IDs: These are after the end of the URL. [16]
  • Apostrophe: [17] is now [18]
  • /number/ at the end like this and that

Alternatively:

  • Any URLs missing an ending slash at the end needs one like Gaga's link above.
  • Commas: These links will most likely need ghost redirects as this is now here.
[edit]

Majority of the links will redirects. They follow the same rules above with some exception.

  • Underscores: These need to change to hyphens while removing the majority of the URL: Converting to that redirects to here
  • /issues/: Although this is now here, no luck in converting.
  • /specials/: No luck converting articles like this which is already archived.

objection

[edit]
moved from User talk:GreenC#Exclude villagevoice.com from GreenC Bot

Is there a way of excluding a domain name? There are hundreds (probably thousands) of citations using villagevoice.com sourcing Scientology topics. Although VV copied the text of their articles from a prior website style, the new copies are shit (images and formatting gone). The latest run was on article List of Scientologists which screwed up. By marking newer VV URLs as live, we are losing formatting and images of the Wayback Machine archived articles... well, not exactly losing, but deferring to the newer shit copy. Can you just make villagevoice.com an exclusion of GreenC Bot? There's no documentation at User:GreenC bot to explain what this bot does or how to exclude it, etc., and there are about 800 articles in the Wikiproject:Scientology; likely every one of them linking to a VV article. Fixing this by hand is not an option.   ā–¶ I am Grorp ā—€ 08:13, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Grorp this was a job request made on a noticeboard initiated another editor to process the entire domain. The link to this location was in the edit summary Special:Diff/1314954569/1316049965 .. User:MrLinkinPark333 I have put the other half of the domain on hold until it is clear how to proceed because right now there is no longer consensus. I have not looked too closely at the issue raised by Grop yet. Also Grop, you are looking for documentation about the bot, that is also in the edit summary. -- GreenC 16:52, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@GreenC: That link (i.e., this thread) doesn't have documentation about what GreenC bot is doing... it's just some request about villagevoice.com. I would have expected documentation at User:GreenC bot that explains what the bot is intended to do -- keeping in mind that I (and most editors) were not part of any request to invent the bot. Are you saying GreenC bot only does villagevoice.com? Even if so, I would expect some sort of documentation (or pointer to it) on its page.
I'm not sure what other article types cite to villagevoice.com articles. Keeping in mind that the previous editor of the paper, Tony Ortega, has been covering the Scientology topic for a very long time. As editor and reporter, there are many articles on the topic, and many are cited within WP:WikiProject Scientology-tagged articles, which were duly copied into the Wayback Machine.
The Wayback Machine copies are much more desirable than the 'new' VV URLs, which I swear were created by an automated process when they updated their website to a new coding format.   ā–¶ I am Grorp ā—€ 20:22, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The bot is actually WaybackMedic, indicated in the edit summary. The account that runs the bot is GreenC bot, which also runs many others bots with various names. That's how bots work on Wikipedia: 1 user account, many bots attached to it. Otherwise I'd need 10 different accounts for each bot program which is not practical. What WaybackMedic does is address link rot issues - it's been in development for over 10 years and has thousands of features due to the complexity of link rot. When you ask "what is it doing", for this page it is for user's to request modifications to URLs so that dead links become live again, or add an archive URL Special:Diff/1315452952/1316054727.
Back to VV: Compare archive vs. live. The formatting doesn't look too bad, but I agree the image link is broken. Sometimes Wayback Machine copies are superior to live pages, this might one such case. -- GreenC 00:16, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
GreenC: Village Voice redesigned/reformatted/reprogrammed their website in 2017. Anything prior to then had its text copied from the original article -- minus images, formatting, bolding, etc. Of course a Wayback archive of the new design looks just like the new (current) design, like in your example above which is a 2017 article. But take older articles and you'll see the difference.
Here is one example of a 2008 article (used in 11 Wikipedia articles): current article, archived original. Hardly the same. If the Wayback Machine's archived copy is better than VV's archive copy, I don't see why we need to primarily point to VV's archived copy, especially not to mark the newer url as live even if there is already a valid older url-archive listed.
Now here's the rub... in the edit which alerted me to GreenC bot's failures, the very first change it made is blatantly incorrect. The bot took this June 20, 2011 article and changed it to this June 28, 2011 article. They are not even the same article. I don't know what the bot does to attempt to find the same article, but this one was indeed a failure, and an editor unfamiliar with looking up old edits and correcting the bot's error might simply check the June 28 article and realize it doesn't verify the text which precedes it, and might delete the "unverifiable" content from the article.
Second example: The second change in that edit illustrates the loss of images: Wayback archive versus current VV version; especially noticeable is the loss of the last image which is referred to in the text of the article.
I don't know how bots get programmed, but maybe for villagevoice.com it can (a) skip over articles that are pre-2017, and (b) skip over any citations that already contains an archive-url parameter. A better solution for villagevoice.com/blog urls is to just find the Wayback Machine archived copy. I just don't understand what problem GreenC bot is trying to solve that isn't better solved by User:InternetArchiveBot.   ā–¶ I am Grorp ā—€ 10:50, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like it was an error on the site. Using this redirect instead points to the right article. For some reason, had to remove the _t at the end, even though it was already there in the url per your revision. If IA copies are needed instead, then that works for me. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 15:57, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This has become more complicated, the details were not understood before and kindly brought to attention by Grorp. The first thing is to stop more changes, the bot was halted two days ago. The second is to undo the controversial changes made in Batch 1, namely "Moved 2,043 links to a new URL" and "Switched 400 |url-status=dead to live". There are logs so it should be possible with programming work. It might be possible to convert to archive URLs in the same pass, or possibly two passes (first revert, second archive). -- GreenC 21:45, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The site is too much trouble and holding up work with other domain requests, moving on for now. -- GreenC 23:48, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah unfortunately this is a complex site with a lot of dead links that were not being repaired by IABot. I was left with a bad choice, or a very bad choice. So I went in the direction of the bad choice: adding archives in some cases where the link is still live. The alternative, the very bad choice, was to not add archives when links are dead. This later category is much larger than the former, so I went with the former because it did the least amount of harm for the most good, relative to the other option.

Perhaps a slightly odd request, but I'd figured I'd bring this one to attention of users on this board. The template was deprecated and now is WP:TFDHd, but needs its uses changed to {{Cite POWO}}.

nationalpost.com

[edit]

The domain hostname in the FQDN needs to be removed to create redirects to the new URL. Example: Changing this to that redirects here. These are in two categories:

Working redirects:

  • sports.nationalpost.com ~310
  • arts.nationalpost.com ~480
  • life.nationalpost.com ~60
  • fullcomment.nationalpost.com ~180

Not working redirects

  • network.nationalpost.com ~320 It looks like national post is excluded from IA.

This means only ~3k of the 7k articles need adjusting/archives. Thank you! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:31, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:The C of E, there is no obvious way to automate replacement, for example this does not go here. I will add archive URLs via bot. Even better, there are so few links, recommend if you can manually search for the new URLs and replace them. -- GreenC 18:54, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@GreenC: That particular one links to here. I hope that can assist. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 16:27, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That works. They have bot blocking that I can not surmount ("Are you human?" from CloudFlare), I am unable to verify the new link works, so I made a "blind move" ie. simple search-replace without verification. I did manually verify 8 pages so I assume the other 4 are OK. The problem is some "/local-news/" redirect to "/lifestyle/" which is fine, except it might be a problem later with the Wayback Machine archives, which might not be able to follow the redirects. Ideally if you can go through and fix those redirects it would be best long term, I can't do it automatically because of the bot blocking. -- GreenC 16:18, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find examples where changing the domain name alone makes sense, except for the home page: https://nla.gov.au --> https://library.gov.au .. everything else is either the old Trove, Catalog and Pandora/Webarchive links .. or the links at the new domain have new paths, it's basically an entirely new website. Mapping the old links to new, without redirects, may or may not be possible, and it would take serious investigative work. Assuming the new website content is even the same as the old.

I found a match in Helena Blavatsky: this [dead link] is now available here. In Robert Louis Stevenson, this matches here. The matches are imperfect (eg. "german-colonies-in-the-pacific" vs. "german-colonies-pacific") it would require AI or fuzzy matching. Unfortunately there are only 37 pages. There is also "nla.gov.au/research-guides/" (19 pages) available here. I'm hesitant because of the low count and bespoke coding.

It looks like the archived local council election results from the London Datastore site have stopped working. I have replaced the reference for the 1982 local election results in the Karen Buck article. (See second paragraph in Career section.) The archived page was at this page and the original was here. The reference can be seen at this old revision of the article. The correct links to these results can be found here. I think I had to fix another one of these broken references recently. If anyone can help fix them elsewhere, that would be appreciated. I imagine these election results are used elsewhere. TrottieTrue (talk) 14:21, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

www.parliament.vic.gov.au

[edit]

Hansard from the Parliament of Victoria has been at a new location since c. 2022, forcing edits like [24] to remain active. This is a simple fix, but I have no proof that all such fixes would require replacing www with hansard. Is there a good way to do this with a bot, or would bot work be limited to listing broken links to parliament.vic.gov.au that include the string hansard? I have no idea how many articles are involved, or how to ascertain this. Thanks, Nyttend (talk) 20:28, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PS, because this is a citation to a printed resource, an acceptable (although suboptimal) action would be to remove the URL entirely. Nyttend (talk) 20:31, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nyttend: Yes the bot can check every URL for 'www' -> 'hansard' and if that works change the citation to live status. If it's truly dead add an archive URL. This is boilerplate. You discovered a rule ('www' -> 'hansard'). If you find other rules that would be great. Sometimes domains have multiple rules. I program the rules into the bot and away it goes. -- GreenC 21:15, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But can you check to verify that the potentially archived document is the same file as the document that results when you change www to hansard? Or is this so unlikely to be a problem that it's safe to tweak the URLs without checking? Nyttend (talk) 07:12, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If it successfully changes www to hansard it won't add an archive URL. I have soft-404 checkers that would pick up most problems. If there is actual "content drift" ie. a few words were changed between revisions of an article, I can't pick that up, but that is a rare case. I suggest you do spot checks and if you see it we can figure out what to do based on severity, worse case I can unwind the changes. -- GreenC 16:16, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a bit of a weird one, and I'm unsure if this is even the right place to report this. The site appears normal and is serving up its usual content (about the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library).

economist.com (nov 2025)

[edit]

Various links are redirecting with the following rules:

  • URLs with /node/ tend to redirect such as this. I previously asked this URL change a few months ago, but I see ~600 more of these.
  • Any capitals in the URL need to be swapped to lowercase to make a working redirect. Changing this to that redirects here.
  • dot cfm needs to be removed at the end of the URL to make a working redirect. This does not apply to story_id URLs. Changing this to that redirects here.

If you want to check the entire site, there's 15k of articles. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:25, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For /node/ they were repaired; the original archive URL still showing in search eg. Special:Diff/1302829156/1303801147 -- GreenC 21:29, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah okay. Thank you for the clarification. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
MrLinkinPark333 : This is a complex site. Test runs are showing a ton of redirects, for everything. Example this to here. The live page is a truncated paywall, the original content and user-comments are available in archive here. Making links live thus could have the unintended effect of less verifiable vs. treating as dead with an archive URL. However 1. the Wayback Machine does not have archives of everything, 2. I am unable to create new archives (probably some kind of block), and 3. it's possible if archives exist they could be truncated paywall versions as well. Possibly if we can establish when the paywall went up, any URL with a date prior to that could be converted to an archive URL and expected to work. The post-paywall links probably none of them are going to work no matter the solution. -- GreenC 17:47, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. I don't know which would be the more easier option. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:37, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure. Paywalls have been going up increasingly due to AI scrapers stealing content, the old open web is kind of shutting down and the new web (AI-based browsers) has yet to emerge. I'm trying to find the cut off date for the paywall, the Economist fortunately puts dates in most URLs. Thus any URL from pre-firewall will be treated as dead and likely work with the archive version. -- GreenC 22:09, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If that's easier, feel free to use that method instead. I didn't realize this would be so complicated. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:35, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: MrLinkinPark333, there is too much complexity and inconsistency. If there is a sub-path you want to work on like the previous /node/ request that is probably the best approach in smaller parts. Many websites can be done as a whole, which is usually ideal, but this one I keep getting different results hard to make sense of patterns. -- GreenC 04:39, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, perhaps these two URL formats in the examples above would be more useful to focus on instead of the entire website:
If you run into issues with these two URL formats, please let me know. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:07, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think these are some of the ones I was seeing problems with. The issue is that Economist really does not want people stealing their content. They have sophisticated blocking technology that works on WaybackMachine archives, as well we live pages. I can't detect it, so I don't know when its being blocked or not. And it's variable, you find a pattern or system, only to discover there is none, it's inconsistent. For these reasons I am hesitant to do bot work without understanding the technology they are using and how to deal with it, if it is even possible. As I mentioned above, the premier media sites are cracking down due to AI scrapers stealing content. They likely have rate limiting as well even if I signed up for an account. -- GreenC 20:32, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you've been having problems with these URLs, then it's okay to close the request. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:14, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

pastemagazine.com (games coverage)

[edit]

Not sure if this needs to be addressed but Paste (magazine) in July 2025 spun-off their games & other related topics to a new dedicated outlet called Endless Mode. At the time, any old Paste article that fell under the umbrella of topics covered by Endless Mode was moved to the new url. Now Paste has just announced that they're shuttering Endless Mode and shifting all of that to The A.V. Club (which they purchased in March 2024). So now all the old Paste articles & Endless Mode articles have been moved to the A.V. Club url. My issue with the way they've done the redirect is that it is not clear these old articles were originally published by a different outlet before the A.V. Club acquisition. For example:

But I'm also not seeing anything in how they structured the URLs that would make it easy to find the articles that been moved from the Paste header to the A.V. Club header. Just wanted to check to see if these old Paste articles should be marked as dead so it is clear when used that Paste was the original source & not the A.V. Club. Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:09, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If the content at the new site is the same as the old site - other than site branding - it's probably not worthwhile changing a live working links to an archived link. It's sort of a pro/con situation either way. -- GreenC 05:43, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

leedsunited.com

[edit]

IABOT treats this domain as permalive but links before about 2024 to this site no longer work. 688 pages

links between around 2019-2024 of format https://www.leedsunited.com/news/[team-news|academy]/[five digit number]/[title] are generally still live at https://www.leedsunited.com/en/news/[title] (e.g. [25] is alive at [26] and [27] is live at [28]) - these links should be easy to move. There are older URLs of this format that appear to be dead though (e.g. [29] does not seem to be live anywhere on leedsunited.com). Hence these should me moved where live at a different url and tagged as dead otherwise.

There are many older links of other formats that are dead and not necessarily marked as such - this includes "http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article" such as [30], "http://www.leedsunited.com/news/[date]" such as [31] and "http://www.leedsunited.com/page/LatestNewsDetail" such as [32] - a lot of these give a 522 error page rather than a 404 like the later URL format though, so im not sure if this will create a problem for running a bot over these links. It seems that every live link on leedsunited.com is at leedsunited.com/en though so it might work to mark anything that isn't and cant be moved as dead, if the 522 errors are problem.
