Thread:Project:Support desk/What should I do with the dead web links?/reply

Weblinks themselves often are not solid. The saying that cool URLs don't change unfortunately is not taken very seriously by many website owners.

Anyway, if the information you linked to now is available at another place, you should just replace the links - which might need manual searching of the new URL and then possibly using something like Extension:ReplaceText to fix it. You might also want to check, if archive.org has the according page archived.

For links, which are not fixable, maybe you can put them into ref-tags - that way they will still be there, but just as a small footnote.
