- Bot: Usuario:MerlLinkBot
- Operator: de:user:Merlissimo
- Automatic or Manually: Semi-automatic
- Language: Java
- Source: no
- Function: changes external links which are outdated and can be successfully replaced by a new one.
- Already has a bot flag on: dewiki(home) and 50+ other wmf wikis and on some more allowed to run without flag (see all flags)
- Function Details:
The bot replaces urls that have to be changed. This can be only a domain change or a more complex page structure change on a website. Links are dectected with the help of the api (and not with regex) and are only replaced if the webserver of the new url returns a 200-status-response for that new resource. “Link text” is not changed.
