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)
- I think you misunderstood my comment. Yes, new websites can also be archived by this tool. However, if a website has been created recently, there is a possibility that Archive.org has not yet captured its pages, so they cannot be archived. That is a technical limitation.
- 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. 🍁Bharatwiki Socrates🍁(📩) 10:12, 9 October 2026 (IST)
