Hello, Rotlink, and ] to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for ]. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: | |||

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a ]! Please ] your messages on ]s using four ]s (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out ], ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place <code><nowiki>{{help me}}</nowiki></code> before the question. Again, welcome! <!-- Template:Welcome --> | |||
One more thing: I see that you have added archive links to the citations in several pages. Archive links should not be added unless the linked page is gone and no other page will do. ] often automatically add archive links when needed. I have undone your revisions; in the future, please use the () to find dead links, and only add archive links for links that show up in red. Happy editing! —] <sup>(])</sup> 02:14, 15 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Questions about Archive.is == | |||
Hello! I noticed that you are the owner of Archive.is (from the talk page at ]). I have a few questions: | |||
* Can you create a gadget for Misplaced Pages in order to show the archived link near each external link? (since you archived automatically all the external links last year). If yes, then can you archive the Misplaced Pages's external links automatically each month or so, from now on? | |||
* Can you create a Bookmarklet for archiving links with Archive.is, like WebCite's bookmarklet - ] ? | |||
* Can you create a way like the WikiWix gadget for archiving an external link automatically, just by clicking the first time on it's Archive.is link? (I detailed how WikiWix gadget works at ]) | |||
Such things would be extremely useful, in my view. | |||
Thank you. — ] (]) 19:22, 26 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
:* Do you mean something like ] ? It is already there, but not very popular. | |||
:* There is a bookmarklet: '''<span style="background:#e0e0e0"><nowiki>javascript:void(open('http://archive.is/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))</nowiki></span>''' (or drag the same link from the top of http://archive.is/ to your toolbar). | |||
:* New external links are being archived constantly, approximately each 30-60 minutes (because there are a lot of wikis and they checked sequentially). So, it seems needless to wait for a click. | |||

:: Thanks for your answers. Sorry I haven't checked for your reply after 28 of July, so only now I have seen it. I have readed the ] and I don't really understand how to use "Your own style sheets". Probably that's the way to create a gadget. The user should be able to activate a gadget which will add after each external link a link to the archive.is archive. That would be awesome. Currently, at Romanian Misplaced Pages we are using the WikiWix Gadget (made by ]) which is doing that, but the site (WikiWix) is not working well. | |||
:: And another question: can you also archive automatically the external links which are in the talk pages? For example, at ] (talk page of the article about the Romanian president) there are a lot of links containing useful data, waiting to be inserted into the article). Until someone will add the data into the article, it would be very nice to make sure the information is not lost. | |||

==Dating archive== | |||
Hi, many thanks for supplying the archive URLs for dead links. Would be good if you could use the appropriate date format for the archive date rather than always using ISO date. If you look at the references then you should be able to determine if day first or month first is more appropriate than ISO. If all dates are in same format adding a date out of sync with the rest is not good practice, many articles use a mixture so go with the most common. ] (]) 18:26, 29 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

== faktaomfartyg.nu -> faktaomfartyg.se == | |||
Hi Rotlink; I notice that you added archive links to several faktamofartyg.nu references, as the site is dead - this is indeed the case; however, faktaomfartyg.nu was simply replaced (again) by faktaomfartyg.se and the URLs stay otherwise the same - so e.g. what was formerly http://www.faktaomfartyg.nu/superfast_X_2002.htm is now http://www.faktaomfartyg.se/superfast_X_2002.htm . So I think it would be best to replace the links with the working ones to the current site, as the pages for individual ships obviously don't get updated in the archive. Thanks for your work and if you could do this, that would be great :-) ] (]) 16:17, 3 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Ah, OK. Just run the replacer for faktaomfartyg.nu -> faktaomfartyg.se. ] (]) 16:34, 3 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Some (less than 10) links to th old site (faktaomfartyg.nu) are left because of missynchronization of my index and the real Misplaced Pages content, they will be replaced as well as soon as the index will be rebuilt (24-48 hours). ] (]) 17:50, 3 August 2013 (UTC) | |||

Quoted from [[Wikipedia_talk:Link rot#Archive.is: | |||
: ''It very much looks like Archive.is keeps only the newest shots when it archives external links automatically. It archives the external links once in a while, discarding the old archived versions. In the end, it's archiving dead links. And that is very bad. I detailed the process at ]. The owner of Archive.is probably doesn't realize that the program deletes old versions. — Ark25 (talk) 00:35, 27 July 2013 (UTC)'' | |||
