Quizzaz, Quizzazz or Quizizz

Cami mentioned Quizzaz but I can only locate a site called Quizizz. However, you can search Quizzazz and find something on Quotev, which was also mentioned. I need to clarify further what she meant. Additionally, Way Back Machine is behaving oddly today. I am archiving links, and it gives me the URL of the archived version, but then when I open it, it says that URL has not been saved yet. It hasn't happened on every occasion today, but frequently. Unsure if the site is just taking a while to recognize the new information, or if it's truly not working.

I've had some weird hiccups with the Wayback Machine in recent months - I chalked it up to there being a high traffic load from people archiving things like Yahoo! Groups and 8tracks. Have you tried out archive.is? It can be a viable alternative to the Wayback Machine in a pinch. --enchantedsleeper (talk) 11:11, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
Yeah! I've been using it so far with great results. I just have to go back and check some of the past ones to see if they finally loaded into WBM's cache, or if I should just replace them with Archive.is. Thank you so much ♥ But wait, is 8tracks going away? Oops... I just suggested Cami move her fanmix from spotify to 8tracks so that she could make it public again. *sigh* My bad. I'll look into that. Thank you for the accidental head's up if that's the case! Jacksbrak (talk) 16:39, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
Yes, sadly it is - check out the front page for our news post on the shutdown (or read it here). --enchantedsleeper (talk) 18:10, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Help please

Is a complete listing of all the artist's work on Fanlore common? I was in doubt to find some pages referring to IT fans with so much content in these sections. That's why I would like some gardener to explain to me if it's correct or not, or if the pages should only have a list of the fan's most notable works -- Ellakbhesse (talk) 23:26, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

No, I wouldn't say it's common, and we generally don't have Index of Works sections. I might change that to Example Fanworks so its consistent with how other fan pages display works by a fan creator.
Fanlore doesn't have a notability requirement. So different editors may have different opinions on what someone's most notable works are, and some editors may believe that every work is a notable work. Unfortunately we cannot archive entire catalogues of work at Fanlore, because for many creators the pages would get way too long! We do aim to list fans' most notable works, but those can also be very long lists! There's no right or wrong way to list fanworks, but if you're thinking of creating a fan page check out Help:People pages for suggestions. It also has some example pages linked at the bottom of the article that might give you an idea of what to include on a fanpage.
And I think I answered the question about pages with only lists of fanworks on the Talk:Megan Angeline page? Let me know if you have any more questions! --Auntags (talk) 21:03, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Not sure, I understand. These two questions of mine were created at the same time. It's that on this page, in addition to a very extensive index of works by this specific fan, there is also a huge section of favorite works by this author. So I got a little lost, but how did I make the the questions at the same time and they were answered with time difference it may seem that I did not understand your answer on the other page. But I understood and thank you immensely for your patience with my slowness -- Ellakbhesse (talk) 22:37, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Oh sorry, I think I misunderstood the second part of your question. It isn't common to have a favourite works by the author section. This fan may have shared a list of their favourite works which was used to create that section. There is nothing wrong with it; there isn't a rule against having a section like this. If someone disagrees with any of the content or structure of the page, they can start a talk page discussion about making changes. --Auntags (talk) 20:46, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
