Detect whitelisted live links when converting editor-inserted archive URL to template parameters
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Here IABot moved the archive link into the proper template parameter. However, the link is whitelisted in the database.

IABot should detect these cases and not mark the link as dead.

Event Timeline

Oh, a clarification: In that edit IABot made cosmetic changes to an already existing archive link. It would be nice if the bot recognizes the whitelisted status of that URL and would not finally mark it as dead.

I updated the task's title and description to clarify the problem.

I somehow managed to miss this ticket this entire time. But with IABot's judgement override active, it will treat any archive URL in the url parameter as a dead URL since the original cannot be linked. As such it will mark it as such despite whitelisting as it is deferring to human's judgement that made that edit in the first place. Whitelisting simply inhibits the bot from using its own judgement on those URLs.
