Archive.today links

Thanks for helping out on the LinkedIn page. :)

Just to note for future reference, please use archival websites other than Archive.today when dealing with citations. This is because both Wikipedia and CRW have blacklisted the website for its owner's unacceptable behavior, which included using unwitting visitors in DDOS attacks and editing captured screenshots. (See Projects:Archive everything#Archival services for alternatives.)

I have already changed the Archive.today links to other archive services, so there is nothing you need to do on your part. I'll bring it up in the staff Zulip channel that we need to better inform editors beyond just a project page that most aren't likely to visit. — Sojourna (talk) 06:04, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

My apologies and thank you for the heads up and for correcting the links! I'll definitely keep this in mind for future edits.

Maybe archiving could be automated and integrated into the Wiki software so it simply calls the archive provider's API whenever a new citation is added. Then you could change archive provider without any manual changes to the articles, and it would save the manual archiving step. MrTuttle (talk) 11:55, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
