WAMU has shutdown the DCist and if you go to the website, it shows a popup stating it will redirect you to "WAMU.org in 15 seconds" ( Washington Post mentions the redirect). It looks like this redirect popup is occurring on both the homepage and all of the articles so DCist links should be marked as dead. Sariel Xilo ( talk) 18:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

17:48, 16 March 2024 (UTC)www.squashinfo.com is a standard reference in articles about squash players. The problem is that current links mostly have the form www.squashinfo.com/players/12345-playername. This leads to the alphabetical players list on squashinfo instead of to the individual player profile. The solution would be to change "players" to "player" without the s. I just did this for Hannah Chukwu where I changed the respective link from http://www.squashinfo.com/players/13679-hannah-chukwu to http://www.squashinfo.com/player/13679-hannah-chukwu. We currently have several hundred articles about squash players and most of them have squashinfo-links so this may rerquire a bot to fix. Proofreader ( talk) 13:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
The site isn't reliable, but as discovered by user Bendegúz Ács at RSN, it hosts some documents that are either not easily accessible or are behind paywalls. We agreed that these documents should still be referenced on Wikipedia, but through the Wayback Machine instead of linking directly to the site. This approach reduces the risk of losing access to the content and prevents any malicious or spammy content from being added to articles. It also minimizes the potential for spamming or manipulation of the information. Upon checking for insource:"educationengland.org.uk/documents", I found that there are around 148 articles with links to this site's document path, which need to be archived. Also, please note that educationengland.org.uk is redirecting to education-uk.org so they should be archived/replaced accordingly. I would like to know if this can be done through a bot or if it requires manual action. Thank you. GSS 💬 18:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
The original official site for the Italian glasses brand Police (brand) has been usurped by a scam site.
The old link used to be https://police.it. I know it affects all the pages related to Police (brand) in all the languages this page was translated to.
The new link appears to be https://policelifestyle.com/. Erniwastaken ( talk) 00:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
The https://policelookbeyond.com domain, which used to be property of the Italian glasses brand Police (brand) has been recently usurped. I cannot find a new version of the site, would it be possible to look for an archived one?
The link is present at least in some versions of the Police (brand), and I don't know of other uses. Erniwastaken ( talk) 00:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
The theinsiter.org domain, which used to be property of a Maltese student newspaper, has been usurped. Some more recent articles seem to be available at the same path but on the domain insite.mt, but not all of them. AlexandraAVX ( talk) 10:02, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
The main URL subtitle should be texasrosefestival.org (not com). The domain was lost in January apparently and sold. It’s a volunteer-based charity event anyway so it was changed to the org suffix. On some search engines the top rank result is the wiki page with the bad address. Thank you for reading this and for your help. Jckmlvny ( talk) 14:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
