In French Wikipedia they use (or used) a feature to archive all external links in Wikiwix. Example: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_en_France#Notes_et_r.C3.A9f.C3.A9rence... [archive] links)

Hi,
you know, links break after time... Thats why many wikis use services such as webcitation.
Is there some non-experimental extension, which automatically creates backups of links using either webcitation, archive.org or similar services?
Or some doing some other kind of backup, such as screenshot the page or storeing the page?
(The ArchiveLinks extension [1] looks very well, serving exactly this purpose, but its really stresses, not to use in in production wiki.)
Cheers, adrelanos
