WP:URLREQ

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.

finlex.fi

This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived.

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: Bot's edits: [1], [2], [3]. Some URLs it tagged as dead but are actually working: [4], [5], [6]. Those finlex.fi URLs that now have both a working URL and an archive URL should be tagged with the |url-status=live tag, and could someone try to tell IABot that Finlex is live? Thanks. 2001:14BA:9C94:9A00:E866:DADA:1085:E3D9 ( talk) 09:28, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Just noticed that this same issue is being discussed at fi.wikipedia: fi:Wikipedia:Kahvihuone_(tekniikka)#Botti_hakee_arkistosta_kumottuja_lakeja 2001:14BA:9C94:9A00:E866:DADA:1085:E3D9 ( talk) 09:41, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply

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. -- Green C 15:13, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply

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. -- Green C 00:40, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ GreenC: Before this section gets archived and if it's easy/fast to check, can you check if this is still the case, i.e. that the site still has the maximum security enabled and no tool/bot can get through? Thank you. 85.76.109.152 ( talk) 06:21, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply

When going to [7] it still asks "Are you human?" with the CloudFlare security tag at the bottom. This is a feature of CloudFlare service, clients have the option to enable, it's the highest level of security. I'm not aware of a tool that can bypass. What I will do is set a reminder in 6 months to check again and post the results here. I use W-Ping which posts a reminder in the watchlist at whatever time in the future with a custom message. -- Green C 16:06, 2 June 2024 (UTC) reply

squashinfo.com

www.squashinfo.com is a standard reference in articles about squash players. The problem is that current links mostly have the form www.squashinfo.com/players/12345-playername. This leads to the alphabetical players list on squashinfo instead of to the individual player profile. The solution would be to change "players" to "player" without the s. I just did this for Hannah Chukwu where I changed the respective link from http://www.squashinfo.com/players/13679-hannah-chukwu to http://www.squashinfo.com/player/13679-hannah-chukwu. We currently have several hundred articles about squash players and most of them have squashinfo-links so this may rerquire a bot to fix. Proofreader ( talk) 13:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Proofreader: Looks like about 472 articles. I can do this, and some other things up like conversion to https and check for dead links. Might be be a few days before I get to it. -- Green C 15:21, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks a lot. -- Proofreader ( talk) 15:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Done Checked 779 articled. Edited 737 articles. Types of edits per above, http->https and conversion of /players/ to /player/. The site has bot blockers which made it difficult, it's inconsistent some URLs not blocked, some partially and others fully - no rhyme or reason. So I blindly did the conversions without verifying the URL actually works, spot checks suggest this is OK. -- Green C 19:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

RateTheRef.net

The website RateTheRef.net seems to have been usurped by a Thai gambling site. I don't know how many pages this affects, or whether the old content has been archived, but I figured someone ought to be told. DavidKVT ( talk) 21:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC) reply

educationengland.org.uk

The site isn't reliable, but as discovered by user Bendegúz Ács at RSN, it hosts some documents that are either not easily accessible or are behind paywalls. We agreed that these documents should still be referenced on Wikipedia, but through the Wayback Machine instead of linking directly to the site. This approach reduces the risk of losing access to the content and prevents any malicious or spammy content from being added to articles. It also minimizes the potential for spamming or manipulation of the information. Upon checking for insource:"educationengland.org.uk/documents", I found that there are around 148 articles with links to this site's document path, which need to be archived. Also, please note that educationengland.org.uk is redirecting to education-uk.org so they should be archived/replaced accordingly. I would like to know if this can be done through a bot or if it requires manual action. Thank you. GSS  ^💬 18:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Sure no problem. I'll run the entire domain, archive the /documents links, and the rest move to the new URLs (or archive if soft-404s). And ~~update https~~ and other fixes. -- Green C 20:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC) reply

police.it

The original official site for the Italian glasses brand Police (brand) has been usurped by a scam site.

The old link used to be https://police.it. I know it affects all the pages related to Police (brand) in all the languages this page was translated to.

The new link appears to be https://policelifestyle.com/. Erniwastaken ( talk) 00:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

policelookbeyond.com

The https://policelookbeyond.com domain, which used to be property of the Italian glasses brand Police (brand) has been recently usurped. I cannot find a new version of the site, would it be possible to look for an archived one?

The link is present at least in some versions of the Police (brand), and I don't know of other uses. Erniwastaken ( talk) 00:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I can't find any pages that include policelookbeyond.com: [9] It does appear to have been fixed: Special:Diff/1186189568/1215771089 .. unfortunately my bot does not operate on other language wikis, and IABot is not programed for this kind of work. I suppose we could set both domains to dead in IABot, so at least they are converted to archive URLs on the other wikis. -- Green C 13:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Both domains are now "Permadead" and IABot will convert to archive URLs on the 300+ other wikis. -- Green C 13:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

theinsiter.org

The theinsiter.org domain, which used to be property of a Maltese student newspaper, has been usurped. Some more recent articles seem to be available at the same path but on the domain insite.mt, but not all of them. AlexandraAVX ( talk) 10:02, 27 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Texas Rose Festival

The main URL subtitle should be texasrosefestival.org (not com). The domain was lost in January apparently and sold. It’s a volunteer-based charity event anyway so it was changed to the org suffix. On some search engines the top rank result is the wiki page with the bad address. Thank you for reading this and for your help. Jckmlvny ( talk) 14:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I could only find one case of texasrosefestival.com - in Tyler, Texas - and that link is dead (even when .org), it should remain as .com since the archive URL is also .com -- Green C 14:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC) reply

It looks like when there is something between the number and the last path element, this can signify a problem, for example: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2220304/opensource-subnet/say-what--gnu-emacs-violates-the-gpl.html --> https://www.networkworld.com/article/2220304/opensource-subnet-say-what--gnu-emacs-violates-the-gpl.html .. in this case /opensource-subnet/ is made part of the last path element, in other cases it is deleted entirely.

What I can do is process the entire domain, log the source and redirect links, and look for patterns of repeating redirects. Sometimes that will surface soft404s like this.

Unfortunately this system is giving false positives, redirecting to unrelated articles.

Note: many of the archive.org links to wikispot.org appear to be soft-404 redirects to the home page, or some other useless place on the old website. My bot has trouble detecting these as there is no redirect in the headers. Probably all of the wikispot.org URLs should be checked manually and if there is no viable alternative I recommend nuking the citation entirely as unverifiable because placing a dead link tag will result in bots re-adding the useless archive URL. -- Green C 18:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC) reply

A new feature for this move can be seen Special:Diff/1221731335/1221749231 .. the URL redirects with a client-side mechanism (JavaScript) so it was not possible to use page headers which only returns status 200.

This was brought to my attention through Special:Diff/1224405115. The following hostname should be marked as dead and set to the archived urls given that they are no longer serving any content and being redirected to the company's corp site, or simply dead:

nfl.com

Hello. I found that URLs under the http://www.nfl.com/news/story/ format are either broken or redirect to a new URL:

URLs with only numbers are broken, and might have an archived copy.
URLs with a numbers and letters string might redirect to the new URL. This redirect works
Some URLs with a number/letters string don't work and need converting with the article name in the URL: This URL should go here
Some URLs with numbers/letters and article name might redirect to new URLs: This is now here.

9000+ links under http and 100+ links under https Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 20:22, 26 May 2024 (UTC) reply

donjohnsonbigband.com

This domain seems to have been usurped: in 2020, it was still a normal band site https://web.archive.org/web/20201202185840/http://www.donjohnsonbigband.com/^[usurped] vs since 2021 it's "DJ Son Band - Rock Music Review" https://web.archive.org/web/20211115153056/https://www.donjohnsonbigband.com/^[usurped].

New official URL for the band is https://www.donjohnsonbigband.fi/ TuukkaH ( talk) 22:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Well, I added it to WP:JUDI for future processing: Special:Diff/1225804735/1226183097 and the URL is in one article, Support de Microphones, which I sortafixed.

BX, can you clarify. For example, old URL http://www.cnlbr.org/Portals/0/Hero/Herbert_Rap_Dixon.pdf goes to ? -- Green C 21:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC) reply

@ GreenC: The old path after "Portals/" varied, however the new path has no variables. So for your example, the new path is https://irp.cdn-website.com/33d0c3d0/files/uploaded/Herbert_Rap_Dixon.pdf It's basically just cutting the last "pagename" from the old path and pasting it to the the new prefix, if that makes sense.

Got it, didn't realize "33d0c3d0" is a static string. 138 pages. -- Green C 19:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC) reply

User:BX: There were edge cases in about 30 URLs. Needed to convert "%20%20" to "%20". And in some, changing ".pdf" to "-2020.pdf" - After those changes, I was able to convert all to live links. I made metadata changes eg, changing |publisher=cnlbr.org to |publisher=Center for Negro League Baseball Research, because supposed to use names vs. domains. Anything that was previous marked dead and had an archive URL, I changed the primary URL to the live version and set |url-status=live and kept the original archive URL. -- Green C 01:37, 7 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The way GreenC bot‎ is handling these by replacing them with half-broken archive.today links is problematic. The bot's activity on this should be paused, the changes made so far should be reverted, and someone should write a bot/script which properly fixes the URLs to current working versions. – jacobolus (t) 16:49, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply

My reply here Special:Diff/1227943344/1227944480. I agree that it's a good idea to switch archived URLs to live URLs, and my bot can do that. But I need to know what the live URL is. And your not providing information how to figure that out. Currently, the bot is repairing a completely broken non-functioning URL with an archive URL. I understand the archive URL is incomplete, but at least better than a completely dead URL. If there is a way to determine the live URL, I can replace the archive URL with the live URL. -- Green C 17:01, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Looks like the Patent ID is in the title of the archive.today page eg. for [26]: <title>Patent US417831 - ARTISTS EASEL - Google Patents</title> from which can be generated https://patents.google.com/patent/US417831A .. although I am unclear about "A", how to determine. -- Green C 17:50, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Early on Google made up a new identifier for every patent. More recently they have sensibly figured out how to use the patent number itself. I think the A is optional; it's just the form of URL that turned up when I did a search for a couple of these specific patents. You can see how https://patents.google.com/patent/US640792A and https://patents.google.com/patent/US640792 give the same result. – jacobolus (t) 21:48, 8 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The archive roll back is done. Edited 731 articles and 1,468 citations. Example: Special:Diff/1227937185/1228131980 and Special:Diff/1227937170/1228131968. There are 64 links with no patent number the list is available here Wikipedia:Link rot/Cases/Googlepatents in case you or anyone want to research. Optionally update that page with the patent numbers and I'll update wiki via bot. -- Green C 16:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The linkrot ones can probably be figured out by scraping a wayback page. E.g. the first one is here, from which we can find patent number 2612994, so the current google patent link would be https://patents.google.com/patent/US2612994. – jacobolus (t) 17:00, 9 June 2024 (UTC) reply

You know, the citation is for a book authored by Hook, Franck and Austin (1982). The source link is for a book published by Ellis, Jones and Austin (2003). The replacment link is for a book published by Austin and Keasey (2013). There are many editions and authors. Maybe more. If someone is citing the 1982 edition on page 52, and we change the link to the 2013 edition, it will be a wrong page number. I think this needs to be done with more care - or a consensus discussion. I don't want to be in the position of asked to undo the changes, which is time consuming. -- Green C 01:50, 15 June 2024 (UTC) reply
