Come on, we all know that computers were invented to help you solve problems that you wouldn't have without them Wikimedia has a special page for tracking down dead links, but I don't know if something like that ever got implemented here. It all comes down to developer time (or lack thereof). Busy indexing nil values Top Quote |

I just wanted to jump in and bring you some good news: With the last update of the website, I renamed some of the pages and to avoid dead links I implemented an automatic redirect to the new page. If a page is renamed the old link will redirect to the new page. For a long term solution the links should of course be changed, but they won't be invalid immediately. Top Quote |

@Shevonar: This is at the moment a good workaround. What about removing pages? Is it possible to rename/mark them as "archive/<name of article>" ? So, what is the conclusion of this thread?
My suggestion is:
Starting at the Websitemenu is the right way, isn't it? Top Quote |

I disagree. This is the only correct solution. See http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html. Case in point: We used to host the site on xoops.widelands.org with a content management system. That is ~8 years ago. You still find links on the interwebs to this site and crawlers still try to access it. No, a deleted WikiSite should be a redirect or a 'this content is deprecated' site.

Thats right for internet-handling. But in case of Wiki-working IMHO such articles should have a tag, or similiar thing, to mark them as outdated, removed or deleted. So you could filter i.e. the List to really actual sites. Or you could make a different list with only outdated articles (i.e an archive) or a list with redirects. But its a decision of your Website developers As User it is boring to ran into articles like AIImprovements, WidelandsFAQ or GameHelpempireBuildings. Top Quote |

The tagging sounds like a reasonable suggestion. Nobody is working on the website right now though :(. We need more people. Top Quote |

Thanks, Dishito That information should go into the Translations forum though, in this thread: https://wl.widelands.org/forum/topic/569/ The "Translations & Internationalization" forum is where we discuss everything related to translations. You are welcome to open a new thread there if you have any questions Edited: 2014-12-02, 10:40
