InternetArchive have now started using wayback.archive.org instead of web.archive.org, so that shold be included as well.

In the find statement, I suggest looking for both "http" and "https". In the replace statement, I suggest adding |archiveurl=//web.archive.org... to create a protocol-relative link.

archive.org certainly hasn't changed over to wayback.archive.org completely. Links to their site from archive pages still go to web.archive.org. In addition, I made a data request to them for the URL to an archive page. The response indicated an archive address in the web.archive.org domain. In a brief look, I found no mention of a change to wayback.archive.org on their site. When I went to wayback.archive.org I was redirected to archive.org. It appears that archives are available at wayback.archive.org URLs, but is is not ''instead of'' web.archive.org.
web.archive.org still appears to be their primary choice.

I agree with using protocol relative links, per VPP. However, that discussion was closed without an implementation plan.

@Josve05a, I also agree with @GoingBatty and @Makyen in using protocol relative links, per VPP. The decision there was:
"Use HTTPS links for HTTPS only sites, protocol relative links for sites that support both HTTP and HTTPS, and HTTP links for sites that don't support HTTPS at all"
That effectively means that this proposal would be changed to:
Make AWB change the following:

{{cite web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDTTTTTT/http://example.com/|title=Example title}}

or

{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDTTTTTT/http://example.com/|title=Example title}}
{{cite web|url=http://example.com/|archiveurl=//web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDTTTTTT/http://example.com/|archivedate=YYYY-MM-DD|title=Example title}}

(Y=Year e.g. 2010, M=Month e.g. 12 (December), D=Day e.g. 10, T=Time e.g. 112345 (11:23:45).
Since AWB can't possibly know if the http://example.com site supports protocol relative links, the http//: for the |url= parameter should remain unchanged for now; however, if this is to be added, there's no reason not to add the same fix for citations that already include both the |url= and |archiveurl= parameters; that would add the following to the find statement of the proposal:

{{cite web|url=http://example.com/|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDTTTTTT/http://example.com/|title=Example title}}

or

{{cite web|url=http://example.com/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDTTTTTT/http://example.com/|title=Example title}}

or
This could be the start of the implementation plan the decision reached at the Village Pump lacked. If successful, it could be duplicated for other websites known to support protocol relative links. Additional steps would be to create the same tasks for the other {{cite ...| formats and modify the citation tools to exclude http: or https: in the |archiveurl= parameter to avoid the problem to start with.

Progress was made, and very rough steps for implementation were enumerated, including having AWB make changes. The stated objections were resolved/withdrawn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_locator#Protocol-relative_URLs was written and a redirect created at link for linking in edit summaries when such changes were made.

@Josve05a, @GoingBatty what is the status of this one?

@Magioladitis I'm sorry, I don't have any more information on this topic.

So what is asked here is to correct the url parameter, add |archiveurl and |archivedate, Right?

Yes, pretty much
