90+ agencies identified as having web pages deleted during the Trump admin:https://asia.nikkei.com/static/vdata/infographics/deleted-website/

Whether or not I am supposed to add this here, I don't know, if I am not supposed to put it here, let me know. But to go along with whoever listed US federal government websites on this page. I also think there needs to be something done about sources citing the governors office websites in several states since the 2024 election. This probably needs IABOT or something to go in and archive all of them. Those include the office of governor websites in:
More states might need to be added. The reason why I am requesting these states (and really any state if you think about it) websites be archived by IABOT is because I've been noticing a couple of dead links ongovernor
In addition, ANY state government website that deals with a particular administration, there needs to be an archive link put up if its used in a citation. That goes for office of governor, their legislative sites, and anything else that may be deleted when the next administration is elected.Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page!02:46, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this needs to be addressed butPaste (magazine) in July 2025 spun-off their games & other related topics to a new dedicated outlet called Endless Mode. At the time, any old Paste article that fell under the umbrella of topics covered by Endless Mode was moved to the new url. Now Paste hasjust announced that they're shuttering Endless Mode and shifting all of that toThe A.V. Club (which they purchased in March 2024). So now all the old Paste articles & Endless Mode articles have been moved to the A.V. Club url. My issue with the way they've done the redirect is that it is not clear these old articles were originally published by a different outlet before the A.V. Club acquisition. For example:
But I'm also not seeing anything in how they structured the URLs that would make it easy to find the articles that been moved from the Paste header to the A.V. Club header. Just wanted to check to see if these old Paste articles should be marked as dead so it is clear when used that Paste was the original source & not the A.V. Club.Sariel Xilo (talk)00:09, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
IABOT treats this domain as permalive but links before about 2024 to this site no longer work.688 pages
links between around 2019-2024 of format https://www.leedsunited.com/news/[team-news|academy]/[five digit number]/[title] are generally still live at https://www.leedsunited.com/en/news/[title] (e.g.[2] is alive at[3] and[4] is live at[5]) - these links should be easy to move. There are older URLs of this format that appear to be dead though (e.g.[6] does not seem to be live anywhere on leedsunited.com). Hence these should me moved where live at a different url and tagged as dead otherwise.
There are many older links of other formats that are dead and not necessarily marked as such - this includes "http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article" such as[7], "http://www.leedsunited.com/news/[date]" such as[8] and "http://www.leedsunited.com/page/LatestNewsDetail" such as[9] - a lot of these give a 522 error page rather than a 404 like the later URL format though, so im not sure if this will create a problem for running a bot over these links. It seems that every live link on leedsunited.com is at leedsunited.com/en though so it might work to mark anything that isn't and cant be moved as dead, if the 522 errors are problem.Microwave Anarchist (talk)22:11, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the fact box to the right, there is a direct link to that company's page at The Brønnøysund Register Centre (public state agency) in Norway, where all companies and organisations are registered and are given a 9 digit ID.
The link in this case is:https://w2.brreg.no/enhet/sok/detalj.jsp?orgnr=923609016
From now on that link should be replaced with a link to the new web page:https://virksomhet.brreg.no/nb/oppslag/enheter/923609016

TheWLNE-TVWJAR-ABC quasi-separate operation appears to have ended on January 9; there are no articles since that date,their longtime anchor left, and they just rebranded as Coastal ABC. WJAR has its own site that will probably stay up, but I'm not so certain about this one. As a news-producing TV station, I suspect there are a fair number of links to it that need to be archived just in case, if they have not been already, seemingly about 180.Sammi Brie (she/her · t ·c)19:16, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The following domains have been usurped by a common actor and turned into spam sites advertising an AI chatbot software. Some of these sites appear to be forums, but upon closer inspection the "users" themselves are clearly AI chatbots, probably a "live" demonstration of the software.
Each of these domains is linked on ENWP mainspace pages, in total about 100 articles. Can citations with these domains be marked as "usurped", please?

HiMrLinkinPark333, I could use help with this site. It has many edge cases. Most of them I have fixes for, but one case is theMusic Genre Awards, which moved. For example,this (archive) is nowhere. To find this you would click the pull-down menu at the top of the "archive" link, find the list of genre award categories, hover over each to find the slug code ("259"). Then go tohttps://www.grammy.com/music-genre and find the new equivalent page. I'm not really sure how to match these up. --GreenC06:29, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is incredibly bizarre. anotheracronym.org looks like a legitimate site at first; it's the website of the political advocacy organizationAcronym. The problem comes when you click "about" on the hamburger menu - it redirects to a classicWP:JUDI example within the website itself (?!). The press coverage of this organization seems to have peaked around 2019 to 2020 and the last social media updates from them were in 2022, so I wouldn't be surprised if this organization went bust a few years ago and some judi spammer was able to find a vulnerability in the site.wizzito |say hello!14:09, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

User:ActivelyDisinterested yeah I'll do it. Surprised it's only4,391 pages. IABot is not a good option for Factbook because they are redirecting to a splash page that returns 200 (vs. 404) so IABot won't detect the dead links. Also the site has serious content drift problems the timestamps really matter. The 2021 page for Venezuela is very different from the 2025 page. I'll need to work backwards favoring the newest timestamp (or access-date), instead of the oldest as usual, and that will be difficult, need to do some development work. The archived Factbook will quickly become outdated since the statistics are now static - they kept it updated was it's strength. --GreenC17:28, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple articles link to a 404 page of a single source, but a different archive with actual content is available.
Only the archive URL and archive date needs to be changed (and the URL status set to "dead" if it isn't already). So far as I am currently aware, this only affects this one page and no changes need to be made to other links to this site. However, the same change also needs to be made on multiple other languages.Thryduulf (talk)13:31, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
