We are working on updating the links in the staff thread.

Is there some standardised way that these links can have their URLs updated to their new locations? Or better yet, to find the original images via this method and then upload them to Imgur instead?
 
Also, can somebody remind me about the staff thread in question please?
 
Thank you for reminding me about that unfinished thread, butit seems to have been about linking to off-site respect threads, not unreliable off-site image hosting sites.
 
Okay. Thank you for the information.

Are you willing to try to reactivate the participants in that thread regarding what we still need to do there?
 
Do you know how those links can be updated to still work, and if that is even possible?

I don't have a 100% reliable method. One could try looking in the Wayback Machine, but whether that's archived something is up to chance, and if it wasn't archived, one would need to search out the scan manually.

If that's the case, it would be more efficient to use a bot.

For this one, I will specifically review the comicvine links on only Characters, Items, and other relevant pages. Once that is completed, I will proceed to delete the Test: pages.

Weirdly enough, certain image links remained non-functional despite correctly converting the links. So, I chose to postpone the changes for those pages and retained them on my list instead.

Progress report: Currently on G (For characters)

It's possible some may have been deleted. Can you provide an example of a link still didn't work?

I let one edit pass with the bot so we can have an example:
vsbattles.fandom.com

Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics)

Ghost Rider is the name of several fictional supernatural antiheroes appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. This profile deals with the Johnny Blaze iteration of the character The first supernatural Ghost Rider, stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze, to save the life of his father...

Thank you greatly for helping out, JaRB. You are extremely awesome. 🙏❤️🙂

You can also help out with unlocked wiki pages if you wish, IdiosyncraticLawyer, especially given your aspirations for a content moderator position.

'Tis a slow process to replace them all with imgur links or to direct links to the wiki itself.

it's unfortunate. Apparently before, the wiki allowed stuff from like mp or something also.
now all the old profiles are dead (like older revisions, outdated ones)

The process had a minor delay because I overlooked the inclusion of the "http" link. Though fortunately, I had created list saves for each stage of progress that I make, helping me identify and list only the pages that were not scanned with the "http" one. I am nearing the completion of the process, and next, I will proceed with checking the Items, Civilizations, Locations, Team, and Vehicles pages. Following that, I will need to recheck the pages by tiers, and then filter out the pages I've already edited, just to be extra sure that I won't miss any pages, considering that not all Character pages have the Characters category since some individuals tend to forget to include the mandatory categories.
