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

The "experimental" label isn't a good indicator of production-worthiness.
Some "experimental" extensions that are deployed on WMF wikis: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Echo https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAIRepository https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Parsoid https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GeoData

I think in the very case of the ArchiveLinks extension, it is.

Please read the readme file. (tl;dr: This is under devolopment and

Fair enough. :-) It was created by a GSoC student, so it's probably not going to be developed further unless someone picks it up.
The English Wikipedia has a bot that WebCites new URLs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WebCiteBOT I don't see the source posted, but maybe the author would be willing to share.

And got a reply:
The bot relies on a IRC feed that reports links as they are added, so it would be useless outside Wikipedia without a rewrite. There is a link to its source code in its BRFA if you want to try to rewrite it (sorry I don't recall the link offhand). --ThaddeusB (talk) 03:06, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

I just wanted to give people an update. The Internet Archive is interested in working on a relevant project: "The idea being to grab the text of the recent change and extract out anything that looks like a URL and feed it into a queue at IA's end for archiving."

If you have expertise to share, Vinay would be the one to share it with!
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)
