There's no good topic category for Web archiving. This makes it hard to find some pages (eg file formats used for web archives) and has resulted in the set category Web archiving initiatives possibly being overused. I have created the category Web archiving as a child of Digital preservation and will leave it a few days to see if anyone objects to this before manually populating the category with the other pages I think belong in it Zosterae ( talk) 15:30, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
It seems to be difficult presently to arrange for an archival copy of a webpage that is produced as a result of a database query. The issue comes up, for example, at the Internet Movie Database, when one makes a query for all films involving 2 collaborators; the page that is produced is not readily archived by on-demand services such as WebCite. This issue leads to 2 questions: does anyone know if there's a solution to the problem, or has anyone written about the problem so it can be noted in the present article?

Blocking the archival of TOS and privacy policies seems notable to me. Any thoughts on whether the reasons in the edit summary of this edit make it meritorious? It's mine and was just undone. -- Elvey ( talk) 21:24, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Aside from marketing jargon, the commercial services are functionally identical. Some are on-demand, some offer scheduled backup services. IMHO they should all be listed with identical common terminology. -- Lexein ( talk) 19:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Why is BackupURL.com blacklisted? Is it merely because it gets cited often in references?
I looked at the blacklist page, but it's pretty confusing:

As I understand it, all backupurl.com is, is a web archive. Sempi ( talk) 04:58, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Following the link in the article, it appears that WARC Tools has been bought out by Symantec? I don't see any source code or downloads listed anymore, except for .pdf Sempi ( talk) 05:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
In this section, Search Tool of Google Code is listed, but, it can not be accessed. -- Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 22:57, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Do we need Web_archiving#Enterprise_and_subscription_services section ?
It is big list of the enterpise services which are very expensive (for example PageFreezer subscription costs $50.000/year) and have no version open for public use.
One question - perma.cc requires that a link be used in a published journal and verified before being stored permanently. Will it "verify" links being cited in Wikipedia articles if submitted? We don't want to lose the content of one of the best open source "journals" in the world. Mdawn ( talk) 16:55, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Why is this stated to be impossible? All you need is an remote controlled browser that cannot bypass the intercepting proxy. See www.icanprove.com.

User:Jannymomoko/sandbox is an abandoned user draft of this page. Please would an interested editor assess the material added there, incorporate what is useful into the live article, and leave a note here when that is done? – Fayenatic London 09:11, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
Minimize the number of links.
access dates are not appropriate in the external links section. Do not use {{ cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.
All three web archive services I routinely use ( archive.org, archive.today, and ghostarchive.org) are down right now. Tuvalkin ( talk) 16:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
