Good evening Lodewijk, I completely agree with you on the work done by this robot but I had warned that it was a dead end near Danny Horn employee of the WMF who was piloting the project for the WMF: - energy consuming: is this the role of the WMF to host a robot that would pollute the WEB to detect 404 errors, - modify the articles: is it the role of the WMF to host a robot which allows the articles to be edited at the risk of being considered contributors, - hosting of archives: it is the role of the WMF to provide an exclusive hosting solution for Internet Archive.
On these three points I expressed myself on my Wikipedia discussion page and we are awaiting the return of the bot trainer which will remain unanswered. The solution which is in place via the Internet Archive robot does not in any way solve the problems of the modifications of sources which are numerous and happen frequently to have a link on an article with high visibility on Wikipedia. The solution I have proposed is perennial, non-exclusive, non-polluting, the wikipeda community in hand, does not deteriorate Wikipedia articles because the solution is there but ignored by Wikimedia authorities to the detriment of the foundations of the foundation. In short, I have only one employee and I am going to leave his mission, because the time we lost working for Internet Archive has never been taken into account and therefore the time spent trying to collaborate has resulted in degrading our solution. The future will prove me right, I am not looking for fortune otherwise I will have sold the positions of Linterweb, which in the good old days managed the Kiwix project and the external links archives project. As a result, we are able to provide archives in Zeno archive formats that can be used by offline solutions in the long term: https://blog.wikiwix.com/2009/12/07/okawix-et-openzim/ So what do I do next week is what I launch my only employee on the recovery of archives on all the languages of Wikipedia we have one configuration to change and Wikipedia has a backup solution for external links hosted in Europe in a DataCenter managed by European funds. These wars of influence are wearing out for me and I did not want to arm myself to fight against it, my daughter will remember forever that Linterweb will have been the archiver of the external links of French Wikipedia for only 30 euros of energy per month, small step for Linterweb but big step for the ecological transition which awaits us.

This bot performs incredible work and I hope it gets fixed soon!
