About the bot
InternetArchiveBot

that identifies and replaces
broken external links

InternetArchiveBot monitors every Wikimedia wiki for new outgoing links and actively makes fixes on over 150 Wikimedia wikis. This bot is operated as a service of the
Internet Archive
in partnership with the Wikimedia community.
