Looks like this website has been changed to archive.ph please verify and make the relevant changes. Susheel c ( talk) 18:31, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
The last sentence of the paragraph on the IA Wayback Machine does not show up on this page. I suppose it has something to do with the unusual code in the original page. I do not know how to solve this. Can anyone with more "technical" experience please fix this? Thanks, -- Dick Bos ( talk) 15:07, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Should live links be mass archived in all articles preemptively? Please see also this discussion at VP/T. Your input is appreciated. Thank you. Dr. K. 19:06, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
Under the "Internet Archive Wayback Machine" section of this article it says: "New URLs added to Wikipedia articles (but not other pages) are usually automatically archived by a bot." This is empirically untrue. I have created and significantly rewrote and improved over 15 Wikipedia pages, and every single time only some or half or if I'm lucky, most are archived when I use IABot. But every single time I find that I have to make custom archive URLs myself either through Wayback Machine or Archive.is. So what is the deal? Is this statement ("New URLs ... usually automatically archived by a bot.") inaccurate, am I doing something wrong, or both? Does the Wikipedia automatic archiving need to be fixed? And if so, how would I go about correcting the archiving, or notifying the person in charge? Factfanatic1 ( talk) 10:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I've started a discussion at WP:ELN about Ghostarchive. Direct link: WP:ELN § Ghostarchive. JBchrch talk 11:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Unsure if this is the wrong place to ask, but is it necessary to add archives to references of webpages whose info. changes daily? E.g. artist Spotify profiles referenced on list articles re: various streaming stats. This is the edit that spurred my question. To me, it doesn't make sense adding profile archives since those wouldn't support the latest stats contained in the profiles i.e. the follower count, which is the whole point of the article. -- Carlobunnie ( talk) 01:38, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
The Wayback Machine appears to be WP users' preferred source for archived URLs but when it doesn't save the desired page is archive.today or ghostarchive to be preferred? Mcljlm ( talk) 08:15, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
