Conceptually I agrees, somewhat… but partly not. on wiki pdfs aren't downloaded they're viewed on an in-page viewer, its basically not a PDF at that point, so i don't get the value of classifying the links for them.
Broken links should be fixed, but in the case where they can't the internet archive things sounds pretty interesting.

Brion's email reminds me that we sometimes use an icon resembling Adobe's A to identify PDF, which is very ugly for an open standard. FSFE's initiative welcomes design help to make their icons better, their maintainer told me: http://pdfreaders.org/**graphics.en.htmlhttp://pdfreaders.org/graphics.en.html
Also, the Internet Archive brought up a proposal to "Create a visual format/style to include an archived link next to an external link". https://www.mediawiki.org/**wiki/Archived_Pageshttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Archived_Pages
