Hi David -
Funny you ask... there are not currently any solid ones afaik, but I've
been talking with the Internet Archive about building out a bot and trying
to achieve community consensus on ENWP to autoreplace deadlinks with
archive.org ones. The IA has been crawling all new external links on all
Wikimedia projects at least once every couple of hours for months, and has
a strong interest in killing off literally all of our dead links. Unless
something falls through, I should be bringing a more detailed plan up
within maybe five or six weeks.
Best,
Kevin Gorman

Heise just took down the H Online archive (the
English-language
version of Heise.de, a computer news site). This has broken a *huge*
pile of reference links.
[{Special:LinkSearch]] only shows links in the wikitext - not links
inside reference citation templates.
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:en.wikipedia.org+link:h-online.com
shows hundreds of links. Argh.
What I need to do is (a) find all the links (b) add archiveurl=
(something on
archive.org, which seems to have captured the whole
site) and archivedate= .
Are there tools that do any of this job?
