Big Cartoon DataBase

Per Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 January 16#Big Cartoon DataBase Template:Bcdb and Template:BCDB title are being deleted, however there are many other non-templated links to that website that aren't working (see for example the second reference at Tod Carter or the external link at Knight-mare Hare). Reporting here as I don't think anything is currently done with these (archived, marked as dead, or removed) Gonnym ( talk) 14:04, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Gonnym, I see about 1,000 instances of the templates, and another 1,400 links. The site has been "excluded from the Wayback Machine". But, the first one I checked is available at archive.today. There are a number of options:
  • Convert the 1,000 templates to normal square links, then convert those plus the 1,400 to archive.today, where available, or add a {{dead link}} if not. That way if the site is ever un-excluded from the Wayback in future those archives could get added.
  • Nuclear option: completely eliminate all citations and links to this site.
  • Some other combo, like nuking the 1,000 but trying to save the 1,400 and if any those don't archive then nuke those etc..
Both options are a bit of work, nuking is not clean it's semi-automated each one has to be visually verified it didn't mangle things, but I have done it before and the quantity isn't too high. The conversion and archiving is more automated. My suggestion, if you think the site is completely unreliable and should be eliminated even when it has archives, the nuclear option, otherwise the first option. -- Green C 14:40, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I have no real opinion here as I hadn't participated in that discussion but I'll ping here others that did. @ Snowmanonahoe @ TechnoSquirrel69 @ WikiPediaAid. Gonnym ( talk) 14:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply
The site is a wiki... I'm impressed it managed to amass 1400 citations. I say nuke it, because again, it's a wiki. Snowmanonahoe ( talk · contribs · typos) 15:57, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the ping, Gonnym! The links being generated by the template are already being removed by a bot since the TfD closed as delete, so we don't need to worry about those. I would rather not indiscriminately delete the other links in citations, just add the archive URL along with a |url-status=dead if applicable. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 15:00, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Sounds like that bot is not only eliminating the template, but also the entire citation to BCD. Sounds like a limitation of the bot, it can only delete templates without the option to convert to square links. That's unfortunate because TfD should concern removing templates, not removing citations, which is more the domain of WP:RSN. This is a common scenario with a mix of templates and links and we end up with this inconsistency. Some cites are completely deleted because of the template, others are kept because they are square links, it's random. Anyway this is not directly related to BCD just observing. I can try to archive what is left no problem. -- Green C 15:25, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I don't think the bot is removing citations, just the links generated by the {{ bcdb}} template. All of the cite links should still be around. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 15:45, 23 January 2024 (UTC) reply
For now, I'll retain the citations and treat the links as dead. There is no clear consensus to nuke cites entirely. -- Green C 01:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks, GreenC! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 23:06, 24 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I made the following edits
  • Remove pre-existing Wayback links since they don't work
  • Add archive.today links when available (1,025)
  • Add {{dead link}} for the rest (697)
  • Update iabot.org so changes can propagate to 300+ other language wikis
If in the future the restriction on Wayback is lifted the bots should be able to convert the dead links. -- Green C 02:59, 25 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Canoe.ca

It appears that canoe.ca was once a news website that is referenced in quite a few articles, but it has since been usurped by another gambling website. Unfortunately, the new owners have also blocked the Wayback Machine and only some of the pages I've seen are in archive.today. However, some of the links appear to be salvageable by changing "canoe.ca" to "canoe.com" and then going into the Wayback Machine. Is this something that the bots can help with? Thanks! :Jay8g [ V• T• E 23:32, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

That was probably a little confusing. There are basically three ways that existing canoe.ca links can be archived:
  • Archive.today might have a direct archive of the canoe.ca URL
  • The Wayback Machine might have an archive of the same page with "canoe.ca" replaced with "canoe.com"
  • Archive.today might have an archive of the same page with "canoe.ca" replaced with "canoe.com"
As far as I can tell, the canoe.ca and canoe.com pages were completely identical, but all of the links I've checked seem to be dead on both domains. Unfortunately, there are over 10,000 of these links according to Special:LinkSearch, which is too much for me to deal with manually. There are also quite a few dead links to canoe.com itself, but at least those aren't usurped and can be found in the Wayback Machine normally. :Jay8g [ V• T• E 23:45, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Notes for canoe.ca ie. canoe.com:
Proposal for canoe.ca in five runs of WaybackMedic:
  1. Pass 1a (canoe1): Remove all Wayback links  Done - remove 391 archives
  2. Pass 1b (canoe3 & canoe4): Remove all WebCite links (SSL errors and unstable)  Done - remove 329 archives
  3. Pass 2 (canoe2): Attempt conversion to archive.today. Else add {{dead link}}  Done - add 8,353 archive.today, 633 {{dead link}} (total including existing), change 578 |url-status=live to dead
  4. Pass 3a (canoe5): For canoe.ca with a {{dead link}}: check the API if a Wayback link exists if it were converted to canoe.com - if so, change source link to canoe.com and set to live status and remove {{dead link}}  Done - 157 URLs converted to canoe.com
  5. Pass 3b (canoe6): Check the canoe.com links from Pass 3a for link rot, if so, convert to Wayback or archive.today links  Done - 294 Wayback URLs added to canoe.com URLs in the same set of articles processed during Pass 3a (excess due to pre-existing canoe.com links that were dead)
  6. Pass 3c (canoe7): Make a list of citations with {{dead link}}  Done 406 cites listed at Wikipedia:Link rot/cases/canoe.ca
  7. Pass 4 (judi14a and judi14b): Convert canoe.ca to a usurped citation per steps at WP:USURPURL. This will include completely deleting citations that have no archive URL  Done Edited approximately 6,000 pages.
Proposal for canoe.com
  1. Pass 5 (canoecom): Check for dead links and soft-404s as normal  Done Edited 1,132 articles out of 1,953 checked. Added 1,820 archive URLs. Change 371 |url-status=live to dead
----
User:Jay8g per above proposal. Each pass of the bot has different settings enabled. When done in this order, it should work. The "Pass 3" might result in a lot of deleted citations, I'll let you know before running that one. This will require at least 4 runs of the bot of 6k pages each, plus some manual steps it will take a while. -- Green C 01:39, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
That all sounds good to me! Thanks! :Jay8g [ V• T• E 04:01, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I just thought of one issue with pass 4: Because canoe.ca was a news aggregator, some of the citations that currently link to it can be found on other, unrelated websites. For example, the reference in Dwayne Johnson (the first link that comes up for me in the 6,148-page search) points to http://www.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingArchive/feb24_rocky.html on canoe.ca, but the same article can be found at https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/1998/02/24/a-piece-of-the-rock/ on Slam Wrestling's own website. That exact article is also available using the Wayback Machine with canoe.com, but if it was not available there, replacing it with the slamwrestling.net URL would be better than deleting it. Of course, there's no way to do that without manual work, and anything that's just a bare URL is gone for good.
I will be interested to see how many canoe.ca links are left after steps 1-4, to see whether it makes sense to remove those links entirely or try to find the same articles posted elsewhere first. I'm not sure if this is a situation that has come up before with usurped URLs like this or what the standard practice is. :Jay8g [ V• T• E 04:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
For the rocky example, there is no map to know where the canoe.ca link should go. And since canoe.ca is now a usurped vice site we are supposed to hide it from view. And if no archive is available, delete it. Let's wait and see how many there are after Pass 3. One solution is rather than delete the entire cite, convert to {{citation}} which doesn't require a URL, convert the |work= to Slam Wrestling, and remove the canoe.ca URL. This kind of work is laborious because there are so many permutations of citation templates and argument combinations people use it's not consistent. Also the square and bare links that don't use templates. -- Green C 16:54, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
Yes, there's no automatic way to fix that. I'm also not sure how many of the links would even be able to be manually fixed, since some might not be able to be easily found on other domains. I agree with waiting to see what is left after the bot tries to find archive links to see if it's worth me trying to fix the leftovers manually. :Jay8g [ V• T• E 22:05, 28 January 2024 (UTC) reply
User:Jay8g: Here are the remaining 406 citations with {{dead link}}: Wikipedia:Link rot/cases/canoe.ca .. there are over 11,000 in total on enwiki so the archival success rate was about 96% which is very good. Something still needs to be done with the 406. Options are nuke the citation, which is the only choice for square links. Convert to {{cite news}} and remove the |url= - this option is normally done when the cite can be found offline like microfiche of a newspaper. Of course, there is manual work, where anything is possible. In the mean time, I'll start processing the rest of the canoe.com links, many appear inoperable. -- Green C 14:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
I spot-checked several of the remaining 406 dead links and was unable to find alternative links for any of them, so I think we should be good to remove the remaining links. Thanks for all your help on this -- I'm impressed by how many links were able to be fixed! :Jay8g [ V• T• E 21:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC) reply
User:Jay8g sounds good. I'll be working on this over the next few days and will post when done. Thanks for bringing this to attention. I've been aware of Canoe, but didn't know it was usurped and excluded from Wayback, that's a new scenario (plus the canoe.com twist). It basically required every feature my bot has and then some, never made so many passes. This was a good learning experience what the bot can do and how. -- Green C 02:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC) reply
As noted above, this is all done finally. -- Green C 02:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Most of the content on canoe.ca was from the Sun Media newspapers, so many of these articles can probably be found in Canadian newspaper archives (Web archives like https://web.archive.org/web/*;type=text/torontosun.com/* or newspaper archives like NewspaperARCHIVE.com). It looks like the URL's with "-cp" were Canadian Press stories and a bunch of them list The Canadian Press as the author, publisher, agency, etc. and the URL's with "-ap" were Associated Press stories. Articles from those agencies should be available in a variety of places. Finding them is the challenge.
The wrestling articles could probably all be found on Slam Wrestling if someone is willing to do the work. I didn't see any equivalent partner sites for other sports or categories.-- Jahalive ( talk) 02:22, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I'm guessing you're not interested in customizing a bot to pull the news agency and date from the URLs of those CP and AP stories.-- Jahalive ( talk) 00:38, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
User:Jahalive, your idea is a good one. I'm going to pass because there is more work than I have time for. I want to use the bot and my time where it has the most impact, fixing link rot, that's really the bots specialty. Your idea could probably be done by other bot writers. Could try BOTREQ or AWBREQ -- Green C 01:19, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

User:Jo-Jo_Eumerus is there an example of old to new? Most likely if it's not obvious how to change there is nothing we can do other than treat the old links as dead and add archives. -- Green C 02:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Jo-Jo Eumerus It looks like https://bibliotecadigital.ciren.cl/server/api/core/bitstreams/72bd0a55-5f0d-4ea6-98c4-116797dce09e/content is working. Maybe they had time to repair it. But most of them are still not working. Without a map of old to new, I suggest only check if they are dead and if so add an archive URL.

Wst.tv

Hi, with a heavy heart, the World Snooker Tour has changed its website and changed how all of their links work, and has no real naming convention for most links from wst.tv.

For instance: https://wst.tv/players/jimmy-white/ now is at https://www.wst.tv/players/6100064a-0ea4-4a0c-b8ee-0e2ddaa3def4

News articles and other items have also moved. If there is a smart way for this to be fixed, let me know, but I'm assuming we'd need to archive/mark as dead for the remainder. Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 19:39, 2 February 2024 (UTC) reply

User:Lee Vilenski I don't see a way to migrate the links, without redirect information. If some have links have a redirect the bot will pick it up automatically. Otherwise it will add an archive URL or {{ dead link}}. Looks like 379 pages. -- Green C 05:57, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
All of the news articles have moved from https://wst.tv/murphy-takes-season-opener/ to https://www.wst.tv/news/2023/july/21/murphy-takes-season-opener/
It's a mess, I certainly don't see a way to fix it. Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 09:04, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
It's surprisingly common how often websites migrate to a new platform, and don't leave redirects. If you want, contact them to ask if they plan to leave redirects and mention Wikipedia as an example. For now I can still add the archives, and if in the future they add redirects, the bot can undo the archives, make it live again and migrate to the new redirected URL. Either way it's basically flipping a switch in the bot. -- Green C 14:12, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Regarding contacting WST: My experience is that they do not respond. It might be better to try to convince their software suppliers to provide redirects. It would appear that there are two companies involved. One is https://urbanzoo.io/ and the other is https://www.imgarena.com/.  Alan  ( talk) 12:42, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply
It looks like content was not migrated. For example old site https://wst.tv/white-completes-epic-comeback/ search at the new site: "White Completes Epic Comeback" in the news tab Search with no result. Likewise Google: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-lm&q=%22White+Completes+Epic+Comeback%22+site%3Awst.tv .. looks like a complete resetting of the site and any matches found, like with the /players, could be happenstance. --- Green C 17:39, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I was able to build a preliminary map of the player pages, by headless browsering https://www.wst.tv/players/ and reformatting the HTML into this table, making a best guess on the left column. If the bot encounters a URL in the left column, it will replace with the right column. -- Green C 17:14, 4 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I think it is much more complex than that. The old site had pages for many more players than are currently included in https://www.wst.tv/players which only has current players. Look at https://web.archive.org/web/20221126125804/https://wst.tv/player_category_taxonomy/other-players/. Most of these are gone completely, and many are referred to in our articles.  Alan  ( talk) 10:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
...for instance: if you search in https://www.wst.tv/players for "Davis", you will only get Mark Davis. The old site included Steve Davis, Joe Davis and Fred Davis, who were significant players, apparently now forgotten by WST.  Alan  ( talk) 10:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
OK I was afraid of that, it didn't seem like many players. It does appear the old site and content was completely abandoned, and the new site has some overlap but that is happenchance and can't be assumed to contain the same actual content on the page even if a match can be made. They didn't do a site migration. In this case for citation verification purposes the correct action is treat everything from the old site as a dead link and hope there are archive available. -- Green C 14:40, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
That's pretty much what we've been doing. If you look at the List of snooker players you'll see that all the references have working archives.  Alan  ( talk) 15:14, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The bot should have processed every link for the domain in mainspace. It might have missed some rare cases where it has trouble parsing the page. The template space I didn't do. There might be some in File space, I have not checked. Anyway if you think you need more bot help, let me know. -- Green C 15:44, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Google cache

Apparently, the Google cache (webcache.googleusercontent.com) is about to be shut down. There are over 5,000 pages with these links, and many of them appear to already be broken. These should probably be replaced with the original URL and/or proper archive links if available, depending on how they are currently being used. :Jay8g [ V• T• E 00:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I'll work on this.  Doing... - if you see this request brought up elsewhere point them here. The links are messy and so are placements within templates it will need some care. -- Green C 01:29, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Would archive.org still have the info? If so we should try to get all of it so it is easily replaceable by regex. Geardona ( talk to me?) 15:29, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Not all the now-dead original urls have archive.org links, is it possible to put google cache archive links into archive.org to 'save' the pages? Kingsif ( talk) 22:47, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply
The bot is more sophisticated than blindly converting to archive.org links. It will take 4 different actions, depending on the status of the source URL (live or dead), and archive availability for 1) the source URL and 2) Google Cache URL (at archive.org). In terms of creating new archive.org pages from the GC page, that only would work if the GC is still working which in most cases it not true, and when it is true, the source URL is usually live anyway, so there is no reason for either GC or archive.org -- Green C 17:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC) reply
  •  Done - Google Cache is eliminated from Enwiki. It was in about 5,000 pages. It was a significant undertaking for multiple reasons. There are still 834 inside archive.org pages. One of four actions were taken: 1) original URL is live simply remove the Google Cache and replace with the original URL 2) Original URL is dead and no archives available, remove the Google Cache replace with the original URL and add a {{dead link}} 3) Original URL is dead but has an archive at another provider available 4) Original URL is dead and the Google Cache URL has an archive at another archive provider (the 834 linked above). Option #1 was most common surprisingly. For anyone wanting to do this elsewhere, I made a tool to convert Google Cache URLs to the original source URL: https://github.com/greencardamom/Googcacheparse -- Green C 16:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply

linguistlist.org

This site is linked to by the linglist parameter in {{ Infobox language}}. Snowmanonahoe ( talk · contribs · typos) 23:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply

User:Snowmanonahoe: I only see it on two pages: /info/en/?search=Special:LinkSearch?target=linguistlist.org%2Fmultitree --The site itself looks dead since 2008 or 2009. -- Green C 00:49, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
GreenC: try Special:LinkSearch/multitree.org/codes/. Those urls all redirect to linguistlist.org/multitree now. Snowmanonahoe ( talk · contribs · typos) 00:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
User:Snowmanonahoe: Ok. There are 75 pages. Compare results at Archive.today with WaybackMachine. I recommend a first pass using Archive.today, and any not available a second pass will use WaybackMachine. Sound alright? BTW the entire linguistlist.org site looks like it needs review 421 pages. They made a new website and the old inbound links are not working right. The new website links are working. -- Green C 02:30, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I think Kwamikagami should weigh in on this first. Snowmanonahoe ( talk · contribs · typos) 03:08, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I gave up on getting multitree links to work back when they were basically offline. I didn't know they were up again.
Multitree is generally not a RS. I would avoid using them except for extinct languages where Linglist maintains the description of the ISO code (like Ethnologue does for living languages); for classification trees of various authors (e.g. on our Austroasiatic article); and maybe a couple other things I'm not thinking of, but not as a general reference.
Is there something in particular you wanted me to weigh in on? I'd think we'd want to update the links when we use them, as I can't think of any reason we'd want to preserve or link to old versions of their pages. — kwami ( talk) 03:30, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
I would avoid using them except [some] .. OK my job is to save the dead links by adding an archive URL. It's only about 75 links. You can remove some citations and keep others as you prefer, once the archives are added, so you will be able to see what the content of the page is. -- Green C 14:54, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
That should work just fine. No need for you to evaluate the quality of the ref. — kwami ( talk) 15:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply
For the 75 pages with multilist.org/codes URLs it is a multi-pass run:
  1. Pass 1 (multitree1): Remove existing archive.org links
  2. Pass 2 (multitree2): Add archive.today where available

    Is there a better way to handle the 512 auto-generated refs at Category:Languages with Linglist code? Or would they all have to be done by hand? — kwami ( talk) 23:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC) reply
It is being generated by Template:Infobox_language/linguistlist. Are most multitree.org/codes URLs dead, or only some? Or not sure? -- Green C 00:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
It's also in Template:Infobox language/ref and Module:Infobox language. It looks like all of multitree.org is retired. What if change the template to use a generic archive URL, and hope for the best: Special:Diff/1140877092/1206755696, Special:Diff/996938315/1206753611 and Special:Diff/1114901671/1206760361 - this is a stop-gap solution because archive.org won't have archives for all of the URLs. Ideally multitree.org would be removed from Template:Infobox_language and sub-templates and individually archive URLs added to replace the ones auto-generated, at the same location where it was auto-generated. Somewhat difficult. -- Green C 01:45, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Yeah, they appear to be defunct. But they are the official ISO repository for descriptions of languages extinct before ca. 1950, equivalent to Ethnologue for recent languages. We really should have a link to the official site. — kwami ( talk) 02:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Maybe it's OK with generic archive URLs at the Infobox layer. If not enough, will need to remove the Infobox support, add the citations individually to each article, and run archive bots to add archive URLs. -- Green C 03:49, 13 February 2024 (UTC) reply

iltalehti.fi

I've noticed that some of the 1,222 Iltalehti URLs are dead but bots don't fix them:

All those pages give the Finnish-language text "Hakemaasi sivua ei valitettavasti löytynyt." (= "Unfortunately, the page you were looking for could not be found."). I tried to Google those URLs' headlines, but I couldn't find new URLs for them, so I think Iltalehti has removed those articles from their website completely. Could a bot go through Iltalehti URLs and set an archive link for the Iltalehti webpages that have that exact text on them? Also, if there's a way to fix these, can it be set that InternetArchiveBot fixes them eventually on other language wikis as well? Like GreenC did a month ago in the discussion above #Ilta-Sanomat to the Ilta-Sanomat URLs. For example, there are 10,070 Iltalehti URLs on fi.wikipedia. Thank you again. 85.76.13.79 ( talk) 15:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I requested IABot to run on Maj-Len Grönholm and it fixed it Special:Diff/1194582882/1206244327. Probably IABot hasn't automatically processed the pages yet. I'll take a look at it though, because I know IABot has gaps in coverage what it processes. I'll run it through WaybackMedic which will get them all, plus look for soft-404s like that "Unfortanately" string when the pages otherwise return status 200. Whatever it finds it will update the IABot database, and that should eventually propagate to the rest of the wikis. -- Green C 16:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks again. One thing I noticed though: If either blogit., m. or plus. preceded iltalehti.fi in the URL, the bot changed the URL to the main page URL https://www.iltalehti.fi. I found 12 edits in question with this search: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. Can the bot fix these or do we have to fix these by hand? 85.76.13.79 ( talk) 13:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Oh sorry looks like I missed those, they are soft-404s. If you will manually restore them to the original URL, I can rerun the bot on those pages. It will add an archive URL instead of following the redirect to the homepage. -- Green C 14:21, 14 February 2024 (UTC) reply
Alternatively you can just revert the entire edit by the bot if there is no intervening edit, and the bot will redo the entire page, if that's easier. -- Green C 14:23, 14 February 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

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

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.

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.
