InternetArchiveBot should not use the deprecated {{Wayback}} template.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

InternetArchiveBot currently outputs the {{Wayback}} template (example), which is deprecated on EN.WP and in the process of being deleted. It should instead be using {{Webarchive}}.

Event Timeline

waybackMedic now integrates the conversion of {{wayback}}/{{webcite}} --> {{webarchive}} and it will check every article edited by IABot on enwiki (500,000 since September or so).

IABot has been converted over in v1.3. It will automatically convert the deprecated templates to webarchive now.

Excellent thank you. I already wrote code to convert old templates to new, there are some tricky things with weird data inputs. Already converted over 100000 - Just need IABot to only add webarchive and not wayback or webcite or memento otherwise the conversion process is endless.
