Retired

This user is no longer active on the Alpine Linux Wiki..

Gopherbot is a retired MediWiki maintenance bot formerly used on the Alpine Linux wiki by zcrayfish.

Former bot tasks

• Checks for dead hyperlinks, and certain dead wikilinks as well.
  • After seeing a link fail to work for a minimum of a week, a comment will be added on the associated talk page.
• On a semi-automated basis: Removes unwanted categories.

Dead link blacklist

Links from the following domains were NOT checked, usually because the servers either do dumb things (every response is a 200?) or block the bot:

• RFC2606 test domains (e.g. example.com, example.net, example.org, etc)
• berlinonline.de* (incompatible)
• web.archive.org* (rejects bots)
• archive.is* (rejects bots, and is an EXTREMELY slow site in general)
• cloudflare.com* (intermittently rejects bots... and humans too...)
• cyberciti.biz* (rejects bots)
• linuxconfig.org* (rejects bots)
• openvpn.net* (rejects bots)
• gitlab.com/lramage94* (requires login)
• www.voip-info.org* (rejects bots)
