Hi. The domain has expired and is parked on GoDaddy. When I tried to access it, Chrome gave a "Deceptive site ahead" warning in full page red background. Either way, what should we do about the citations from these sites? Should we add usurped or remove the citations? I remember you told me something, but forgot already. Special:LinkSearch What about all domains which are expired and parked, just like this one? — DaxServer ( talk to me) 18:19, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

I noticed that Drowned in Sound Archived 2021-06-02 at the Wayback Machine has a notice that it's been archived/closed. While the links are still working, I was wondering if it was possible to archive all of the links that are currently used in Wikipedia from Drowned in Sound just in case this website fully closes. The page also links to Internet Archive as well. Thanks! -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 18:10, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
GreenC The Online Citizen has been taken offline by its editor due to 'disagreements' (my word) with local authorities, and should remain so unless the editor has miraculously exited Singapore and revive it in another form. Please set the domain https://www.theonlinecitizen.com to dead. – robertsky ( talk) 15:01, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
lviv-orthodox.net.ua has been usurped, and should be marked dead. There's only a few usages across enwiki and ukwiki, but if they could be auto-archived, that'd be fantastic. See also m:Talk:Spam_blacklist#lviv-orthodox.net.ua. Perryprog ( talk) 00:59, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
this website has been hijacked for SEO purposes. the links on en.wiki have been nullified. See: Special:Contributions/49.128.61.210. 17:36, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
Referencing this discussion: Wikipedia:Help desk#AiNews.com - Wrongly Indexed
Ainews.com was formerly "Adult Industry News", a news site for the porn industry, which has a lot of citations.
The domain now belongs to "Artifical Intelligence News". Needless to say, the new owner doesn't want its domain linked in porn-related articles.
Adult Industry News is now ainews.xxx.
Experimenting with some of the ~130 links from https://en.wikipedia.org/?target=*.ainews.com&title=Special%3ALinkSearch it seems that one cannot simply substitute .com with .xxx. The pages must be found on archive.org. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 15:36, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
|unfit=
sort of for that reason). Looks like
60 articles on Enwiki. I guess a strategy would be to manually determine if an article topic is porn, and treat ainews.com on that page as a dead link, leaving non-porn pages alone. Luckily porn star names are easy to spot (Aurora Snow, India Summer, etc) vs. AI topics. In fact this would be a good application for AI. In terms of updating the IABot database, that's more difficult and will need to think about it. --

to square link archive URLThe links are all now redirects to laterooms.com rootpage. Probably time that we cull those links, and look to stop new additions, which I have seen in the last few days. Uncertain yet whether new additions are spammy or simply copies from other WPs, still investigating. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:58, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

It's a bit hard to research into it at the moment due to a power outage at the Internet Archive, but it unfortunately seems like a major site—I count just below 5,000 usages. I'm also not sure how long ago this usurpation occurred as the whois data gives and updated date from early 2020 and a creation date of 1998. I could just be misinterpreting what it's saying, though. Due to the sheer size of how much this domain was used it may be worth further action beyond an IABot usurpation run, but I'll leave that decision up to someone more experienced with these.

(if no archive) it can't do the usurped process. Better than nothing, but not ideal, wish it could do more. Should the day ever arrive we can do usurped xwiki this forum has a record of domains. Permadead is an IABot admin action which can be requested here (I am admin) or
meta:User_talk:InternetArchiveBot .. it's included in the package when making requests here. --

Inline match-report links are all dead. Rather than manually updating them, can I get the bot to update all the links to waybackmachine archives? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Electricmaster ( talk • contribs)
Can do this. Takes time the entire domain needs to be processed over 4,000 pages have links. It checks each link to see if dead. -- Green C 04:32, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

The Week in Chess was hosted on
chesscenter.com and
chess.co.uk before it moved to theweekinchess.com. Hundreds of dead links of the form http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twicXXX[.html]
or http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/twicXXX.html
can be fixed by substituting them with https://theweekinchess.com/html/twicXXX.html
, e.g.
old1 →
new1 and
old2 →
new2. Other dead links to The Week in Chess cannot be replaced that easily. I suggest marking chesscenter.com and chess.co.uk as dead for IABot once the easy replacements are done.
