Hi, I looked at the links you deleted on April 13.

As a new editor, you might not be aware that our policy on Fanlore is to keep dead links:

'Fanlore policy on link rot is to find an updated page with the correct content if possible, but if not, to leave the original link for archive purposes and flag it with the Dead link template.'

Please see also our page Help:Dead link about this.

Another page you might be interested in is https://fanlore.org/wiki/Help:Citing_sources#Archiving:_Preventing_Link_Rot :

What to do about websites that are already dead? If a website has been cited on Fanlore and is offline and no longer accessible, check the three archiving services to see if the page has been archived. Then replace the dead link with the archived link and add "(offline, archived)" at the end of the cite. If the page is offline or locked and has not been archived, leave the cite intact and add "(offline, not archived)" after the cite. Do not delete dead links that are not archived- just document their current status. Consider looking for alternative sources to use that are current and/or can be found in archives.

In case of the FandomWank wiki article, I'd keep the original url intact because the url offered by archive.today is a shortened, TinyURL-style version.

The other link you deleted is for a page that may or may not be commercial, I have to do some research on it. For now, I'll just undo your edit and add the archive url to the page. --SecurityBreach (talk) 07:57, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
