Found a few alternatives here: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-stepper-motor-28byj48.html But not sure if any follow the similar spec. Otherwise I'd recommend crossing out the existing link.

Thanks for the heads up (and sorry for taking so long to respond)! I've updated the wiki with a link to the most recent recommendations on the Ordering Splitflap document -- currently https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32860037285.html is the recommended source (but as always when ordering from AliExpress, you never know exactly what you'll get, and you may get something different even if you reorder from the same seller...)
