:::As I mentioned, the bot only adds archive links for URLs that already have snapshots on archive.org. Yes, archive.org does capture many sites, but not all. If a site isn't in their archive, no tool can create a link for it, this limitation exists on every encyclopedia. Also, please avoid requesting redirect pages.

Revision as of 10:06, 9 October 2026
Skipping links
Why's it skipping some links while archiving other ones?. For examples, 39-40 or 44-48 in Sanskrit cinema or many such links in Dhee (Sanskrit Film). Dokania😎(📩) 09:26, 9 October 2026 (IST)
- Those links have no snapshots on archive.org. The bot adds only existing archives. Unnesssary regional news sites are often not crawled on archive.org. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 09:51, 9 October 2026 (IST)
- I think it should archive the page if there's not one already. Regional news sites are most prone to link rot so they must be archived. Dokania😎(📩) 09:53, 9 October 2026 (IST)
