Wikipedia:STiki/Dead links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page lists recently added links to en.wiki which are broken (only in the article namespace). These links are obtained by the link processing engine which is part of the WP:STiki project. While the primary goal of the engine is to obtain the destination source to measure spam potential, it sometimes fails in obtaining that source. As a service to the community, those broken links are being reported here. Because vandals sometimes blank pages (and the restore action re-adds them), this page is also helpful in eliminating link rot on Wikipedia.

Common error codes

[edit]

Commonly reported error codes include: (see HTTP codes)

  • HTTP 404 - File not found (but could become available)
  • HTTP 500 - Internal server error
  • HTTP 502 - Bad gateway
  • "Connection failure" - When the server cannot even be reached.

Patrolling notes

[edit]

Editors are welcome to (and should!) patrol these edits. See WP:LINKROT for advice on how to handle broken links. Also, some reports here may be "inaccurate" because:

  • The server/webmaster has fixed the issue since the bot made the report
  • The server may treat bot visitors differently than typical clients (i.e., patrollers should verify state)
  • The URL might not appear on the article as exactly reported here. Thus, it could be a syntax or parsing issue, which should be reported to the talk page.

Once a patroller has investigated an instance, they should mark it using the {{done|Message}} template ( Message). Please do not delete the reports. Perform section-wise edits to avoid conflicts with the bot.

Links are listed below. Note that the list is transcluded from User:West.andrew.g/Dead_links. Interested users should watchlist that page. Because reports are hosted in userspace, the User:West.andrew.g account does not require the bot flag. Old reports are archived at page bottom, with ~250 links per archive.
