The website Catholic News Service is dead since 30 December 2022, due do a decision of the USCCB taken months priors. See this statement. A new website, OSV News, currently has Catholic News Service's former URLs, but it all the previous articles do not seem to be present on OSV News ( example). All the links to previously published CNS articles currently link to 404 errorson the OSV News website.
Therefore, my bot request is as follow: all Catholic News Service links added prior to 30 December 2022 should be marked as dead and archive URLs be added.
A discussion on the WProject Christianity seems to support my request. Veverve ( talk) 00:18, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
It seems the site is dead, but it says 403 instead of 404. Like this. So I guess they are better replaced or tagged as dead links. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Is it possible to make a bot that replaces old links with new links that the old links redirect to?
The old BYU Library findingaids (pages that explain the contents of a collection within a special collections) are through the URL https://findingaid.lib.byu.edu. Right now, they redirect to their parallel URL on our new archivesspace pages in most cases. I would like to change the URLs, because one of my colleagues informed me that the old URLs may not redirect indefinitely. I have done a few hundred manually but there are still some 600 left. Occasionally, there is an error in the redirect (for example, with item-level things from the folklore collection) and human intervention is useful. If you can limit the bot to change links in the external links section, I can manually change links that are used a references (to ensure that the same information is present).

User:Rachel Helps (BYU), ok got it faster than expected. The bot made 50 edits can you look and report any problems? It starts at Tracy Hall at the top through to Charles L. Walker. If it looks OK I'll do the rest.-- Green C 19:09, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

It seems the site is down since they failed to renew their license. All links must be tagged as url-status=dead and others have archives added. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:36, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
