The average lifespan of a webpage is about 77 days. It matters not
whether the site is still running or dead. Webmasters shuffle stuff
about and delete things at will. Click on the random article button
and see a) how many of the first 10 have external links, and b) how
many of those links are still live, or don't redirect to the sites
homepage. I reckon at least 50% of all external links on en.wp are
dead. Lesson: the internet is ephemeral and the only permanent record
is on physical material.

The website findarticles died in 2012 causing over 20 000 articles to
have dead links on them. A few of them was backed up on Wayback, but
their robot.txt changed so all those archives were deleted as well.
So either articles have a dead link showing as 200 (which
findlinks.com does) or they are claiming to be archived while they
are not.

Can we use a bot to remove all instances of this link, or should we
go through them all manually? Can we use bots such as CItation bot
(which is currently blocked) to find doi's and other links to replace
these links with? Ideas people! Barely any of these links are tagged
as dead, and can't by Checklinks (unless done manually) since they
show as 200.
