Welcome!

Hello, Rotlink, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. 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 Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, 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. Bots often automatically add archive links when needed. I have undone your revisions; in the future, please use the link checker tool (example) to find dead links, and only add archive links for links that show up in red. Happy editing! —Remember the dot 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 Misplaced Pages talk:Link rot#Archive.is). 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 - Misplaced Pages:Using WebCite#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 Misplaced Pages talk:Link rot#Better archiving of external links)

Such things would be extremely useful, in my view. Thank you. —  Ark25  (talk) 19:22, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
