Automatic Archiving of Cited Web Pages in Web Archive Open

Edit wish Discuss this wish

Description

To prevent the loss of sources, especially on wikis with reviewed versions, it would be beneficial to automatically check if the web pages cited in references are archived in the Web Archive. If a page is not archived, the system should automatically archive it on the Web Archive. This ensures that even if the original page disappears, volunteers can access the archived version.
