Topic on Manual talk:Pywikibot/weblinkchecker.py

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone knew if Manual:Pywikibot/weblinkchecker.py ignores links if they are tagged with {{dead link}} or similar?

Thanks,

No, it doesn't.

Is there an easy way to implement it to ignore them; I can live with it if not, but a fix would be useful

Probably not. We do love patches though, see Manual:Pywikibot/Gerrit for instructions on how to get started, or ask in #pywikipediabot :)

I have asked in the IRC channel, and it needs a complete rewrite to do this. I don't have the time ATM, so will need someone else to do this; Feel free to mark as resolved.

You may file a new bug at bugzilla for this feature request. Otherwise it will be lost I fear.  @xqt 05:28, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
