::Hey there,

::I've been working on the [[Projects:Archive everything#Alternative frontends & mirrors|Archive everything]] project lately and encountered similar issues when archiving some specific news websites that started blocking the archive.org crawlers. I opened a ticket on the CRW discord-server and talked to the staff about it.

::Here's what i found out:

::It's best to use the Internet Archive and Ghost Archive first, since they are highly trusted by the community. (among other smaller projects)

::If those don't work on the website that was sourced, you can try finding a replica of the page that does allow the crawlers.

::If that isn't possible either one can save the website as a pdf file by using "ctlr + p" and "save-to-pdf". Then upload that pdf file to archive.org. It well create an archive.org link for this file that can be used as your archiving link in this wiki.

::'''This should only be a last resort''' '''though''', since pdf files could be tampered with by the archiver. According to Keith, the mods will let this slide for now, because having such a file is still better than nothing.

::Hope this can help o.o

::PS. directly saving a file to archive.org instead of first saving it to CRW and then the WBM should be simpler and easier on the drive space, since you're only saving it once... [[User:Guacamole|Guacamole]] ([[User talk:Guacamole|talk]]) 17:48, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
