I see you stopped InternetArchiveBot to address issues. If there is any way I can help please let me know. We did notice that the bot was archiving an unusually high number of links. This was because the setting was selected to "fix" all links, not just the dead ones. You can change this setting in the [https://iabot.toolforge.org/index.php?page=wikiconfig&wiki=dawiki bot interface]. Or if there is another issue I can help as well.

:The reason for stopping the bot was it's insertion of the template Webarchive right after the external link which some times is done out of context in relation to a manually formatted reference. I've found this [[:en:special:diff/9447648|example]] of enwiki (look for example at many of the first 13 references). We are discussing to change the webarchive template so that the archiving text gets surrounded with parenthesis like this: "(archived 15 December 2018 at the Wayback Machine)". Now when we see how fast the bot works (and assuming it will continue to run in the coming years when links are dying) we are also considering only to archive the dead links as you mention. [[Bruger:Dipsacus fullonum]] would like to know if the bot could be set to only insert archive links in [[:en:Wikipedia:Citation templates|reference templates]] and not also in manually formatted references.--[[Bruger:Weblars|Weblars]] ([[Brugerdiskussion:Weblars|diskussion]]) 23. jan 2021, 18:03 (CET)
