I didn't even think of that! Terrific! Let us know if you add referrer on to site_watcher for 404s. It wouldn't have to track every referrer to a 404... just the first or last so you have a clue of where to find the broken link.

This could easily be done in the site_watcher extension with a few additions. I was actually just thinking about tracking 404s this week.

It already uses dashboard and already has the "ignore" feature.

It would just need a place to store the referrer info.

Here's an idea for an extension:

Alias_method_chain the show_page action so that any time we return a status of 404, it gets logged to a table by url and referrer. Better yet, it increments a hit count in the table. Then have an admin tab or dashboard widget that shows the top 10 404s. Check a box to mark it as fixed, but if it gets hit again, it will be unfixed and highlighted in red. Would probably also need an ignore checkbox to ignore common hack attempt urls. Making it compatible with the dashboard extension would be ideal.

I probably won't get to it for another six months or so, but wanted to plant the idea in case anyone else had time to nurture it.
