Finlex.fi URLs aren't dead but for some reason InternetArchiveBot keeps adding archived URLs for them. This was brought up at :meta:User_talk:InternetArchiveBot#Finlex.fi_URLs_aren't_dead a month ago: {{tq|1=Bot's edits: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Finnish_Defence_Forces&diff=prev&oldid=1205893909], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Finland&diff=prev&oldid=1204320409], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Docent&diff=prev&oldid=1203856121].

::The site has a "Are you human?" check box (CloudFlare). This is causing the bot to think it's a dead site. I logged into iabot.org and changed the domain to "Subscription" status and that will cause the bot to avoid this domain, it won't set live or dead. My bot WaybackMedic has capabilities to bypass CloudFlare. I can try to process this domain and see what happens. My bot also has a feature "make live" ie. convert a citation from dead to live state. Unfortunately my bot only works on English Wikipedia. I'll let you know what happens. -- GreenC 15:13, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

:::Unfortunately, this site has maximum security enabled, none of my tools can get through. It started happening in late January 2024. I don't know what to do because no bot is able to determine if a link is live or dead. And no archive service such as WaybackMachine is able to archive a page. Only humans can get through, and they need to solve a captcha. It might be worthwhile waiting to see if they relax security in the future, since this is a recent development. -- GreenC 00:40, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

This site died in 2012, until 2019 it went to Justhost, since then if you look at at archived page on wayback a file gets downloaded onto your computer. Putting a url directly into browser search brings up a squatter search site but with a url beginning ww3. Refill has in the past changed the cite url to one beginning ww1. Think it's safest to just archive and usurp the lot Lyndaship (talk) 12:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Every few years, I check all links marked with {{tlx|dead link}} and attempt to discover archive URLs for them. WaybackMedic has advanced search technology that can discover archives other tools miss. Typically about a 15% success rate. This is a large project and slow due to the number of articles, currently about 300,000. I do it in batches of 30-50 thousand articles, which takes a few days to process.

Links to crh.noaa.gov (individual National Weather Service WFO summaries for severe weather events) are dead, but many still remain online on the new weather.gov domain.

For instance, http://www.crh.noaa.gov/dlh/?n=1991halloweenblizzard can now be found at https://www.weather.gov/dlh/1991halloweenblizzard - the syntax is different but can be reasonably changed and the site contents are the same. I'm not sure why crh.noaa.gov isn't a redirect but regardless it's still used in a hell of a lot of weather articles and should be salvaged rather than just labeled as dead where possible. I think this also extends to other domains - if I'm not mistaken, crh is Central Region Headquarters, and there are likely others in the South and a few other parts of the country.

I can try. Do you know of other domains? -- GreenC 22:16, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

::http://www.crh.noaa.gov/bou/?n=consec90 (cited on the page Colorado) on the CRH domain appears to map to https://www.weather.gov/bou/DenverSummerHeat if I'm not mistaken. However, this is just a contemporary equivalent and the original content of the site is not present, and I believe it has indeed been lost. I think a lot of the CRH links are dead but I know a lot of them can be recovered by transitioning to the weather.gov domains. Departure– (talk) 22:21, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

:::In other words, a lot of links do follow the rule but a lot don't as they have been replaced. From what I can tell, a lot of links have been standardized with no clear rule to find the new one. However, many non-climate stories are still online, such as http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ilx/?n=spi-tornado (cited in Springfield, Illinois) which can now be found at www.weather.gov/ilx/12mar06-tor2 - inputting the title from the cite template into https://search.usa.gov/search?v%3Aproject=firstgov&query=&affiliate=nws.noaa.gov can be used to recover links where the rule does'nt apply, assuming the site's content isn't lost. Departure– (talk) 22:25, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

::::This is tricky because if I replace a dead link with a new live link, but the live link has different content, the old dead link is lost we don't know what the original link was anymore. But if I keep the old dead link, plus add an archive URL, then the content is preserved. Thus the safer option is to add archives.

:There are probably others. I worked on it 6 months ago Wikipedia:Link_rot/URL_change_requests/Archives/2024/October but clearly more to go. It had a ton of soft-404 problems making it challenging to differentiate between live and dead links. Maybe I'll just focus on thetimes.co.uk and see what happens. -- GreenC 18:59, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you so much for picking these up. I had one query to check - I can see the URLs tackled in [https://sigma.toolforge.org/summary.py?name=GreenC+bot&search=thetimes.co.uk&max=500&server=enwiki&ns=None&enddate=20250331&startdate=20250403&nosect=on this list] successfully redirect to the .com domain, however don't pick up our subfolders. For example, in the references for the Woken page:

::Corr, Julieanne. [https://www.thetimes.com/article/irish-beach-the-scene-for-new-feature-film-cs7hxkrn0 "Irish beach the scene for new feature film"]. The Times.

::The pathway of the referenced URL is .com/article. However, the canonical URL is on the pathway .com/world/ireland-world/article.

::Please would it be possible for the canonical URL paths to be added? Thank you, I appreciate that's an added step! Lukethetimes (talk) 08:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:::User:Lukethetimes: The step is built-in to the boilerplate code. It follows redirects to the final destination. I just re-ran Woken a couple times, and am getting inconsistent header results. Sometimes it returns 301 with a new Location, and sometimes a plain 200. In the 301 header there is X-Cache: Miss from cloudfront while in the 200 header X-Cache: Hit from cloudfront. I'll send you the full headers if you like. -- GreenC 15:10, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Sorry I became confused by the data, the 200 header is actually of the canonical URL, which is correctly 200. Anyway, I don't understand why it didn't follow the redirect because when I try it now it is following to the canonical URL. Did you make any changes on your side, in the past 12 hours or so? -- GreenC 15:23, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

::::It looks like possibly an intermittent problem. After processing all links, there are about 8,000 with ".com/article" .. the rest are the canonical. I suspect header data might be inconsistent. -- GreenC 15:31, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::I'm going to finish uploading the rest. In the future can redo the .com URLs looking for redirects and changing them again during another phase. Hopefully by then this problem will have resolved, it looks like a problem with CloudFlare or Times sending incorrect headers, but inconsistently. -- GreenC 02:18, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. That's interesting there's inconsistency with incorrect headers, I'll take this away on my side. Appreciate your help with this! Lukethetimes (talk) 09:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Back again. Every single one of these links to m.mlb.com ALWAYS gets redirected to mlb.com, path ignored, making links useless.

Some things to help with:

1. News articles.
2. Prior they look like this: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/155452870/top-facts-about-mets-royals-world-series (the part after the ID may be omitted)
3. If you take that ID and do this: http://mlb.com/news/c-155452870
4. It gets expanded into this: https://www.mlb.com/news/top-facts-about-mets-royals-world-series/c-155452870
5. Gameday links.
6. Prior they look like this: https://m.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-cardinals/2016/08/23/448740
7. These can just safely be replaced with mlb.com, removing the m.
8. They would just get turned into this: https://mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-cardinals/2016/08/23/448740
9. MLB Cutfour/4
10. Prior they look like this: http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2015/05/06/122710430/did-you-know-that-george-clooney-tried-out-for-the-reds-in-1977 (the ending part after the ID may be omitted)
11. Like with news, but keep the cutfour and change it to cut4, and get the ID from the middle (after date): https://www.mlb.com/cut4/c-122710430
12. Gets expanded into this: https://www.mlb.com/cut4/did-you-know-that-george-clooney-tried-out-for-the-reds-in-1977/c-122710430
13. Player links.
14. They look like this: http://m.mlb.com/player/645277/ozzie-albies (the /ozzie etc part at the end may be omitted, you only need the 6 digit ID)
15. They can just be replaced with https://www.mlb.com/player/645277 (or if you remove the m, https://mlb.com/player/645277/ozzie-albies)
16. Regardless, they will expand into https://www.mlb.com/player/ozzie-albies-645277
17. Anything else, just remove the m. and see what happens. If it's a redirect to mlb.com with nothing else, mark it as dead. If it redirects somewhere useful (if you can even check), or it doesn't redirect at all, it should be okay to just replace without the m (for example, http://m.mlb.com/glossary/rules/balk turns into https://mlb.com/glossary/rules/balk with no issue). Some of the above things, especially 1 and 3, might end up as dead, unfortunately (like http://m.mlb.com/news/article/83873114/ten-facts-for-100th-anniversary-of-babe-ruths-debut would turn into http://mlb.com/news/c-83873114 but this is dead). Players and gameday should never come up as dead, as all these IDs should still work.

This would rescue a bunch of links, there are 2,048 m.mlb.com links floating around and saving even half of them would be a huge help. Chew^{(V • T • E)} 21:17, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

prola.aps.org was formerly used for serving articles from journals of the American Physical Society. It's been redirecting since about 2015 but is currently giving a 502 error.

Most links are of the form http://prola.aps.org/abstract//v/i/p_

These links with /tvclub/ do not redirect to their new locations, such as [http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/bobs-burgers-gayle-tales-215935 this] going [https://www.avclub.com/bob-s-burgers-the-gayle-tales-1798182899 here] for The Gayle Tales.

Inspired by the above abc.net.au item, I've just recalled once again that all these old links are dead and need to be archived. They either come up with "Page not found" errors (like [http://www.abc.net.au/newinventors/txt/s1373508.htm this]) or "Page archived" errors like [https://www.abc.net.au/dynasties/txt/s1488955.htm this one] or [https://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s1110359.htm that one], and InternetArchiveBot doesn't seem to realise they're dead lihnks. I was going to provide a list of linksearch texts to use, but it'd get very long very quickly and I'm not sure how much help it would be. Any assistance archiving these links would be appreciated.

::WFUM, if you come across any patterns that could be used; often websites have information in the old URL that can be used to create a new URL. -- GreenC 03:21, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

:::There's a very weird situation going on, as the main NGDC site redirect to NCEI but some things (the one I can find is the tsunami runup database) are still located on NGDC (although they can still be found on NCEI just at diff urls) (https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazel/view/hazards/tsunami/runup-more-info/6847 has one but https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/hazel/view/hazards/tsunami/runup-more-info/6847 has nothing). Thus, I believe the 1,269 pages have many false positives, and the request potentially should be limited to the original link I proposed yesterday for now (with maybe even adding /struts at the end; this request was aimed to primarily cull the earthquake/tsunami database issue.) However, most cases of the tsunami database cites being used are search results from that database, which will be very difficult to map ([https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/results?bt_0=1964&st_0=1964&type_7=Like&query_7=prince&d=7&t=101650&s=7] goes to [https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/hazel/view/hazards/tsunami/event-data?maxYear=1964&minYear=1964&locInclude=prince]).

:Did you request FIBA before?

I made a redirect map:

mapredirectTable[&"https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/{x}"] = 1
mapredirectTable[&"https://www.gamedeveloper.com/game-platforms/{x}"] = 1
mapredirectTable[&"https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/{x}"] = 1

mapredirectTable[&"https://www.gamedeveloper.com/marketing/{x}"] = 1
mapredirectTable[&"https://www.gamedeveloper.com/console/{x}"] = 1

Each URL is tested against these possibilities. It works about half the time. Sometimes there are small changes for example A_view_from_the_directors_chair_of_Assassins_Creed_Origins.php becomes a-view-from-the-director-s-chair-of-i-assassin-s-creed-origins (change "Assassins" to "assasin-s"). Or Epic_is_suing_a_Fortnite_user_experience_tester_over_Chapter_2_leaks.php becomes epic-is-suing-a-i-fortnite-i-user-experience-tester-over-chapter-2-leaks. The extra "-i-" is because the [https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/epic-is-suing-a-i-fortnite-i-user-experience-tester-over-chapter-2-leaks title of the page] contains italics (!) like you might do in HTML but pseudo-encoded directly into the URL. The s rule can can be checked for by converting any word that ends in "s_" to "s-s-" (Noahs_Ark becomes noah-s-ark), but sometimes only some of the words have this. Similarly there are abbreviations like "_QR_" becomes "-q-r-", and rule is applied inconsistently, one URL had 3 abbreviations but only one of them had this rule (2^3 = 8 possibilities). Another problem is many of the old URLs have a truncated version of the article title, the new URLs have the full title. I know how to solve for this ([https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A_Link_Rot_Bestiary/Chapter_4_:_Redirects#Inferred_mapped_redirect inferred mapped redirects]) and can give it a try. -- GreenC 16:04, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

CNN seems to have quietly deleted (?) the edition.cnn.com domain, as attempting to go to any source that links it gives my browser an error saying it redirected too many times. One example: https://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0707/13/ng.01.html is still listed as live at Chris Benoit double-murder and suicide, while other CNN links such as https://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/17/wrestler.murder/index.html work fine.

I think we should update. Couple reasons: the redirects may eventually stop working like the misc.vice.com set. Also I found with the misc set sometimes URLs with a non-English language code like "/nl/" may no longer work but when changed to "/en/" works. Some other things like that.

Per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways the Railway Heritage Register Online have revamped their site with a new database without any clear link between them. While they are being fixed manually, would it be possible for a bot to mark links to http://www.ws.rhrp.org.uk/ws/ (the old pattern) as dead and link to the Internet Archive version. The new pattern starts https://ws.rhrp.org.uk/WagonSurvey/ so those links should be left as-is. Thryduulf (talk) 16:09, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

For newspapers.com, some institutions give users under a specific company or institution access to newspapers.com, and the url appears as basic.newspapers.com. When attempting to access this from a device that has access to newspapers.com, it presents the error:

I've noticed that many URLs within the {{t|Refideas}} template ("{{tq|This template provides a way to tell other editors about potentially useful references that could be used to improve the article.}}") on article talk pages are broken. Is it possible for a bot to check [https://w.wiki/E5FL all 24,250 talk pages] and add archived versions of these URLs if needed? I'm not sure if this is feasible, since the bot would need to avoid altering any URLs outside of the Refideas template. 87.95.243.221 (talk) 16:46, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
