Help talk:Dead Links

There is another help page with a similar title that is linked from many articles because it is included in Template:Dead link: Help:Dead link. Should Help:Dead link be merged into Help:Dead Links?--aethel (talk) 20:51, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Agree that Help:Dead link seems redundant with page and the two should be merged. I think the Dead link template is useful in it's own right, but the documentation for the template should link to the help page(s). -- Quaelegit (talk) 07:54, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
OK I changed it to a redirect after confirming all the info on it was here as well.--aethel (talk) 23:08, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Archive.today "short history"????

The help page current says this of Archive.today: "However, as a single person funded operation with a short history, it is unreliable and a second backup archive link should always be made when using Archive.is." The site is 13 years old now. Neither of the two citations ([1][2]) about it being unreliable on our fanlore page about the website are actually about the website being in accessible, so it seems to me that it's more reliable than, well, Webcite (or even WBM last October). Is everyone okay with me updating the language of the help page to reflect this? -- Quaelegit (talk) 08:41, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
