Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: featured Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Анима (n-fran) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: webcitearchiver.py

Initial Comment: References to the Internet-resources often become dead and information on external sites is often moved. Therefore, it is very need a bot that would create archive copies of web pages on the WebCite or similar web-resources. The principle of its operation is:

http://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%A0%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%...

In Russian Wikipedia is User:WebCite Archiver, in the English Wikipedia has a User:WebCiteBOT. In addition, the English Wikipedia has a User:lowercase sigmabot III, written in python. The source code here:

https://github.com/legoktm/webcite-bot

But setting up and using lowercase sigmabot III are available only for experienced python programmers. We would like a version of the bot, which could be understood as a novice programmers and non-programmers. Also, as with all scripts pywikipediabot, the treatment of which requires no special skills. Thanks.
