Causing freakouts over sourcing since 2018
It does seem that the screenshots linked on Backstroke Of The West have been taken down or moved elsewhere. Anyone have copies?

@Tightwire Yes. Weblinks Are Not Examples, broken weblinks doubly so.

We received an external request to fix broken links on CoversAlwaysLie.Video Games. The example given follows:

which is a dead website — there are better alternatives, such as: (https://www.gamulator.com/img/roms/dragon-ball-z-the-legacy-of-goku-II-cover.jpg)){kind=small}
.I'd appreciate it if someone with more information on the topic than I have would take a look.

There's a dead link on Who's Laughing Now? re: Kawhi Leonard (under Real Life).

Some links in Baby Blues are redirecting to today's strip instead of the strip in question, making them ZCE's. The link in the Adult Fear example does work properly.

A dead link that was not even two months old got removed just now from Memes.The Legend Of Zelda. The rest of the links will need to be checked.

There's also a cleanup regarding the various Awesome Music pages, which contain many broken links due to being Screwed by the Lawyers.

Just a heads up: due to a recent fiasco re: Twitter, some links will be closed off to those not logged in, effectively rendering them situationally broken.
We may have to handle those as we go.

Yeah, I was wondering if we had a thread for something like that — most of them would have to be replaced by either wayback machine archives or screenshots if the links aren't removed entirely. Additionally, the whole "view post limit" makes it hard to do either even if one does have a twitter account.

There are a lot of examples hither and thither that include links to things that say "This page/youtube video/picture doesn't exist".This sometimes turns them into zero-content examples.
So should we start going through the Wiki and find the examples that have only a broken link in them, and remove them?
