Nick,
I'm talking about something different, I'm talking about this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Contributions_redesign.pdf the url points to what appears to be a PDF but mediawiki(?) is displaying it in a viewer/

PDFs:
- That's a browser plugin. It works in Firefox, and possibly other
browsers, but not all. Eg. this PDF link opens in-browser in Firefox, but not in Chromium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Scrabble#cite_note-4https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble#cite_note-4
- Not all PDF links work even in Firefox, eg:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Scrabble#cite_note-12https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble#cite_note-12
Deadlinks: Very interesting. Thanks Nemo, for letting us know. I've added links to that page at Enwiki, and viceversa.

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.
