The website http://www.gamasutra.com has gone offline permanently. Earlier this year, they rebranded themselves to Game Developer and changed their address to http://www.gamedeveloper.com. For a period of time, Gamasutra addresses were redirecting appropriately but that no longer seems to be the case. While some Gamasutra articles have been relocated to the new site, some have not, and those that were carried over are not formatted very well. I am requesting a bot run through Wikipedia and mark all http://www.gamasutra.com links as dead and append archive.org links as able. TarkusAB talk/ contrib 21:52, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
Browsers are beginning to withdraw support for FTP ( Firefox 90+, Chrome from nowish?, Edge 88+). We have some 8k links to insecure ftp sites onwiki in article space. Is there anything we want to do about that fact? Figured I'd start here to ask the question and we can take it somewhere else if we want to organize some sort of party for it. Maybe Internet Archive Bot can go and download and have IA serve files from an ftp URL as a proxy? IDK if that would be supported in a browser. It looked like some browsers would not be happy with cross-protocol data service. Izno ( talk) 23:46, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

I think that is everything. For the majority nothing could be done (C + F). But it was able to do something with D + E. Next step I guess would be find a way to archive the C links before they die (list available on request). @ Rlink2, Perryprog, and Izno: -- Green C 03:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
I found many broken links on time.com starting with this prefix: many of these broken links have not yet been replaced with archived links. Jarble ( talk) 02:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Would someone please run a bot through and nullify any reference that points to leighrayment.com as that domain has been hijacked and is now a gambling site.

@ Billinghurst: in case you didn't see my reply at AN about the domains being blacklisted which also blocks the bot. I only checked seapower but assume leighrayment is also. -- Green C 17:40, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
@ Billinghurst:, it is done. Edited about 2500 pages and 3 to 4 thousand cites. Any problems let me know. -- Green C 20:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

I put this on the talk page, but i think here might be more appropriate for finding someone who could fix it. Jennifer Rush link Jennifer Rush's Official Website http://www.jennifer-rush.com/ The external link to the "official website" leads to an empty page. Is this a scam by someone who grabbed the name when it wasn't being used and is now somehow benefitting from all the wikipedia traffic? I don't want to remove the link in case it is somehow useful, but someone should look into it. THANKS -- 2600:1700:1C60:45E0:5CF7:A2D3:774D:D411 ( talk) 09:06, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
The site has been down for ever and probably isn't coming back. Articles using the URL are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?search=insource%3A%2F80stvthemes%2F&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 . Maybe IABot can fix these links? Rlink2 ( talk) 03:52, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
