Description Daniel 2006-08-22 14:49:02 UTC 
Hi community,

I suggest that a big problem in wiki might be the availability of links. Is there a tool 
existing which can search if all published links are still working? 

The output might be:
1. name of article
2. name of dead link

Thanks for your support!

Kind regards,
Daniel

You mean internal/external links that don't point to a valid page?  We have that
already for internal links, so I'll remove that part from the request:
[[Special:Wantedpages]].  External links this is probably impractical for; how
often are we going to check them?  What if the site is down for a while?  How
much resources will this take up?  Still possibly implementable, but it would be
kind of tricky.

WONTFIXing as per comment 1 - I don't see any good way to *reliably* implement this.
