When I try to open this website, my Firefox warns me that there is a potential security risk. And there are hundreds of such websites in Wikipedia articles. For example, click on this link: https://reports.iihf.hockey/Hydra/2/ Do you see that? So I need a bot that can edit the following string:
Note: There are also URLs with "http" instead of "https" and also with "hydra" (lower-case "h") instead of "Hydra":
The correct URL without warning is this:
For example,
https://stats.iihf.com/Hydra/2/
Thank you in advance.

I went ahead and fixed them by changing to http. It edit 700 articles and modified 2,646 URLs plus some other fixes like removing {{
dead link}}
tags, switching |url-status=dead
to live
, etc. If you see any problem let me know! --

Many links to apps.dtic.mil are currently broken. Jarble ( talk) 21:57, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
This took 3 full days of work and multiple bot reiterations and passes. The site has internal problems that needed to be discovered and programmed for. The data on-wiki was also pretty inconsistent. As such I can't say for certain how many citations were modified but it was at least 5,000 and that many pages edited. It was able to save a lot of links by moving dead URLs to a new URL structure. There is no doubt some unknown problems still in the data, and more links that might be saved through moves. Anyway I've done a lot and need to move on.
