This presents a significant threat to Wikipedia's <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" title="Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect">reliability</a> policy and its <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">source citation</a> guideline.</p> <p>The effort required to prevent link rot is significantly less than the effort required to repair or mitigate a rotten link.

The first way to prevent link rot is to <b>avoid <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bare_URLs" title="Wikipedia:Bare URLs">bare URLs</a></b> by recording as much of the exact <b>title</b>, <b>author</b>, <b>publisher</b> and <b>date</b> of the source as possible. Optionally, also add the <b>accessdate</b>. If the link goes bad, this added information can help a future Wikipedian, either editor or reader, locate a new source for the original text, either online or a print copy. This likely wouldn't be possible with only an isolated, bare <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL" title="URL" class="mw-redirect">URL</a> that no longer worked. Local and school libraries are a good resource for locating such offline sources. Many local libraries have in-house subscriptions to digital databases or inter-library loan agreements, making it easier to retrieve hard-to-find sources.</p> <p><i>As you edit, if an article has bare URLs in its citations, fix them or at least tag the References section with {{<a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Linkrot" title="Template:Linkrot" class="mw-redirect">linkrot</a>}} as a reminder to complete citation details as above, and to categorize the article as needing cleanup.</i></p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Web_archive_services">Web archive services</span></h3> <div class="hatnote boilerplate seealso">See also: <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources/Further_considerations#Pre-emptive_archiving" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations">Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations § Pre-emptive archiving</a></div> <p>A second way to prevent link rot is to use a <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_archiving" title="Web archiving">web archiving</a> service. The two most popular services are the <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Using_the_Wayback_Machine" title="Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machine" class="mw-redirect">Wayback Machine</a>, which crawls and archives many web pages as well as having a form to suggest a URL to be archived,<sup id="cite_ref-ia_form_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ia_form-1"><span>[</span>note 1<span>]</span></a></sup> and <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Using_WebCite" title="Wikipedia:Using WebCite">WebCite</a>, which provides on-demand web archiving. These services collect and preserve web pages for future use even if the original web page is moved, changed, deleted, or placed behind a <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_wall" title="Pay wall" class="mw-redirect">pay wall</a>. Web archiving is especially important when <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources">citing</a> web pages that are unstable or prone to changes, like time sensitive <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News" title="News">news</a> articles or pages hosted by financially distressed organizations. Once you have the URL for the archived version of the web page, use the <code>archiveurl=</code> and <code>archivedate=</code> parameters in the <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates" title="Wikipedia:Citation templates">citation template</a> that you are using.

If you find an archived version of the dead link, double-check to make sure that citation still supports the article text. It is also a good idea to consult the access date of the citation (if it was specified, or a history search for when it was added) to see how contemporaneous this archived version is to the link when it was cited.</p> <p>The following archiving services are considered to be reliable:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive" title="Internet Archive">Internet Archive</a> <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine" title="Wayback Machine">Wayback Machine</a> at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150319070736/https://archive.org/">https://archive.org/</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebCite" title="WebCite">WebCite</a> at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150319070736/http://www.webcitation.org/query">http://www.webcitation.org/query</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Government_Web_Archive" title="UK Government Web Archive" class="mw-redirect">UK Government Web Archive</a> at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150319070736/http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/</a></li> </ul> <p>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150319070736/http://www.webarchive.org.uk/mementos/search">Mementos interface</a> allows you to search multiple <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_archiving" title="Web archiving">archiving services</a> for archived versions of some pages with a single request using the <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_Project" title="Memento Project">Memento</a> protocol. Unfortunately, the Mementos webpage interface removes any <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string" title="Query string">parameters</a> which are included with the URL. If the URL contains a "?" it is unlikely to work properly when entered manually without changes. When entering the URL into the Mementos interface manually, the most common <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding" title="Percent-encoding">change needed</a> is to change "?" to "%3F". While making only this change will not be sufficient in all cases, it will work most of the time. The bookmarklet in the table below will properly <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding" title="Percent-encoding">encode</a> URLs such that searches will work. Mementos looks like it is, or at least will be, very convenient. However, if archives are not found at Mementos, it should not be the only site checked. Mementos can sometimes return no results when archives exist at sites which it normally includes.

In these cases, readers arriving from an external rotten link should be able to find what they're looking for, but the situation is best avoided as they would have to get there via an additional page, potentially giving a poor impression of both Wikipedia and the linking website.</p> <p>It will be impossible to tell how many, if any, external web pages will be affected by a move or deletion, but the risk of link rot will probably be greatest on older and higher profile pages. In truth, there is not a lot that can be done; maintenance of non-Wikimedia websites is not within the scope of being a Wikimedian, nor in most cases within our capability (although if they <i>can</i> be fixed, it would be helpful to do so). However, it may be good practice to think about the potential impact on other sites when deleting or moving Wikipedia pages, especially if no redirect or hatnote will remain. If a move or deletion is expected to cause significant damage, then this might be a factor to consider in <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RM" title="Wikipedia:RM" class="mw-redirect">WP:RM</a> or <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AFD" title="Wikipedia:AFD" class="mw-redirect">WP:AFD</a> discussions, although other factors may carry more weight.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="See_also">See also</span></h2> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes" title="List of HTTP status codes">List of HTTP status codes</a>.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links#Longevity_of_links" title="Wikipedia:External links">Wikipedia:External links#Longevity of links</a>—prescribes removal of dead URLs from the "External links" section.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Offline_sources" title="Wikipedia:Offline sources">Wikipedia:Offline sources</a>—essay.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Using_the_Wayback_Machine" title="Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machine" class="mw-redirect">Wikipedia:Using the Wayback Machine</a>—how-to guide.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Using_WebCite" title="Wikipedia:Using WebCite">Wikipedia:Using WebCite</a>—how-to guide.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources/Further_considerations#Pre-emptive_archiving" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations">Wikipedia:Citing_sources/Further_considerations#Pre-emptive_archiving</a>—brief guide on how to use various archiving services.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_External_links" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject External links">WikiProject External links</a>—dedicated to cleaning up overly long lists of external links and having articles conform to Wikipedia's external links guidelines.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_link_rot_cleanup" title="Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup">Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup</a>—the backlog of articles containing bare URLs at risk of link rot, sub-categorised by month.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_with_dead_external_links" title="Category:Articles with dead external links">Category:Articles with dead external links</a>—the backlog of articles containing dead links, sub-categorised by month.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LinkSearch" title="Special:LinkSearch">Special:LinkSearch</a>—to find all the pages that contain a particular URL.</li> </ul> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Bots">Bots</span></h3> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:STiki/Dead_links" title="Wikipedia:STiki/Dead links">WP:STiki/Dead_links</a>—Page reporting NEWLY added dead links, a component of the <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:STiki" title="Wikipedia:STiki">STiki project</a>.</li> <li><a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RileyBot" title="User:RileyBot">User:RileyBot</a>—approved to update, migrate and replace broken links with new functioning links.

If archiving is attempted and ultimately successful, the archived copy usually becomes available within minutes.<br/> Alternately, you can use the bookmarklets listed at <a href="/web/20150319070736/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources/Further_considerations#Archiving_bookmarklets" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations">Wikipedia:Citing sources/Further considerations#Archiving bookmarklets</a>. The bookmarklets enable you to cause the page that you are viewing to be archived with a single click. A new tab will open with the progress of the archiving without disturbing the tab you are using to view the to-be-archived page. Bookmarklets are available for both Archive.org (the Wayback Machine) and WebCite.</span></li> </ol> </div> <table class="navbox" style="border-spacing:0"> <tr> <td style="padding:2px"> <table
