Link Fixing
- qube.netninja.com/pxcmirrors - (to be dealt with as needed.)
- wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/www.perplexcitysentinel.com/##.##.## -> www.perplexcitysentinel.com - (OR to be dealt with as needed.)
Some slightly over zealous search and replacements may need to be redone:
- {{WaybackS1|en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ -> ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
- {{WaybackS1|forums.unfiction.com -> ([http://forums.unfiction.com
Some of the automated changes i did didn't exactly take like i would have expected, due to alternately fFormatted text:
- " source])" -> }}
- " reference])" -> }}
- " link)]" -> }}
- Links to the PXCS article including academy_scott_i.html may need to be checked, they seem to be embedded links in many places. A method of using custom text for S1Wayback template links would be good. I'll look and see if I can edit it into the template. --Edgemaster 12:34, 14 May 2007 (PDT)
- Also, as a word of caution to be too eager to straight out delete bad links. In many cases it's the easy thing to do, but there's occasionally some intresting important stuff mentioned in, like say, a "more news in brief" news item. The items don't exist as such anymore, (meaning they aren't kept on any particular mirror) but the text itself can be fFound on unfiction and other places with just a tiny bit of searching. While this is unrealistic in all cases, there's probably a fFew news items which might be worth repeating. (Like fFor example Benjaminbrum's letter t the sentinel, and the fFlurry of responses it gathered.) There's no rule on what should be looked up, only plain wisdom vs. laziness, whichever wins out.

- I uhm, dont know if that makes sense, but i hope it does :) Scott
- I've found that News in Brief articles are still listed in full on the archive page. Unfortunately, it is not possible to link to any specific one, only the whole archive. link Anything that I am over-zealous with will still be in the history, in case anything important is needed. Often, I have just deleted broken links. --Edgemaster 14:46, 14 May 2007 (PDT)

- I've set AWB to check for non-www starting links, it completed without error. So, either there's none, or my regex was wrong :) --Edgemaster 09:40, 17 May 2007 (PDT)
To Do
Just a short note reminding myself/anyone else reading to update FIA with motive. (I have exam revision for the next few days) --Edgemaster 02:18, 16 May 2007 (PDT)
- Also possibly pad out Hot Water --Edgemaster 06:18, 17 May 2007 (PDT)
