WikiRef

WikiRef is a free/libre and open source cross-platform tool that helps you verify and archive the references on a MediaWiki instance.

WikiRef can analyze MediaWiki references, identify errors, archive webpage references with WaybackMachine service and locally archive YouTube references. To help you improve the quality of the sourcing of your instance, this tool can let you know if it finds any errors, like dead links, duplicated or malformed references and more. This tool is designed to identify issues in your content rather than fixing them. It provides a report of the identified issues, making it a useful reporting tool.

Key features

 * Analyze references site-wise, for specific pages or categories
 * Check if references URLs are valid and accessible, so you don't have to worry about dead links
 * Verify the accessibility of YouTube video references, their online status and permissions
 * Generate a script to download those videos if needed
 * Archive non-video sources using the WayBack Machine service
 * Publish back to MediaWiki reporting result
