Wikipedia community and Internet Archive partner to fix one million broken links on Wikipedia
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/10/26/internet-archive-broken-links/
Where those links might be in the page? <a>
and <img>
src attributes?
Did you grep all external links already?
Many of the external links 404 but can be found at archive.org or elsewhere.
Devise a scheme for substituting replacement addresses for these links. Perhaps this could be a one time sweep through the pages or an onclick engaged replacement suggestion mechanism.
For example, the image on the JaronLanier page http://c2.com/wiki/remodel/?JaronLanier/
Can be found in the archive https://web.archive.org/web/20060707233440/http://www.exhibitresearch.com/kevin/nyc/jaron/khen.gif
