Talk:Archived Pages

Thank you for this page (mentioned at m:Talk:WebCite)! Your service is truly awesome; I already asked on your blog, but maybe someone else knows too: are you also crawling links added to non-English Wikipedias? On your three proposals: --Nemo 09:39, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) External links icons would need some discussion, so I sent a link on a couple mailing lists to start with: wikitech-l/2013-October/072781.html.
 * 2) Bots: not hard to get consensus for those and run them on all languages, at least those using templates similar to en.wiki's. Some also say it's not hard to code.
 * 3) Access date: this would probably best added to reflinks.py (originally run as w:en:User:DumZiBoT/refLinks, but also by other bots on other wikis, see last such edit on [//it.wikipedia.org/?diff=51794488 it], [//pl.wikipedia.org/?diff=36932952 pl], [//hu.wikipedia.org/?diff=13978398 hu], [//ko.wikipedia.org/?diff=5883815 ko], [//fa.wikipedia.org/?diff=10449051 fa], [//es.wikipedia.org/?diff=26226945 es], [//ru.wikipedia.org/?diff=59231988 ru], [//de.wikipedia.org/?diff=123947635 de], zh, nl, [//fr.wikipedia.org/?diff=31853870 fr]), which works also (only?) for links/wikis without citation templates.
 * Oddly, I found this here of all places. Sorry to hear of the fire, I hope you're up and running again soon. It's one more example of why scanning and digital archiving is so necessary. LeadSongDog (talk) 04:47, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Previous work
The WMF and the Internet Archive previously worked together in 2011 on this isssue for the Extension:ArchiveLinks project, which is now archived. There may be some useful information in the related pages and subpages. 64.40.54.184 20:06, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Non-English wikis
Today I checked a random it.wiki and fi.wiki new article and I see links in it were crawled by Wayback within two days: it's certainly not a coincidence. IA is probably crawling our external links on main namespace (not the rest, I checked) for several big Wikimedia wikis. Not all of them, for instance not mt.wiki. Fantastic news anyway! --Nemo 09:31, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

English Wikipedia
As a start, I nudged en.wiki bot owners. --Nemo 09:03, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
