:::::Archive.org captures millions of websites daily. I don't know what you understand by archiving url, but it is not the tool itself that archives a website. Archive.org actually captures and stores the website's pages, while the tool simply retrieves the archived links.

:::::@[[User:Dokania|Dokania]] I think you have a high misunderstanding of how the Wayback Machine works. This tool can archive URLs regardless of whether the website is new or old if it was captured by wayback machine. However, if Archive.org has never captured the website's pages, the tool cannot retrieve an archived version of them. This is a technical limitation from archive.org, not a limitation of the tool itself.

Revision as of 10:18, 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)
- 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. They have no citation URLs to archive, so the bot skips them automatically. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 10:01, 9 October 2026 (IST)
- I know tools which archive new links as well, It's not very hard to integrate. Have you checked [1] Dokania😎(📩) 10:06, 9 October 2026 (IST)
