Description

The bot adds — as the default text. At least on dewiki, the use of HTML entities is discouraged and is monitored, therefore IABot edits are flooding the monitoring queue.

The default text should either be converted to — or changed back to Archivlink, which I believe was the old default.

Do you have any recent edits of this?

This edit was the one a user complained about. There are supposedly several hundred cases which are filling up a maintenance queue (but I don't know where exactly).

The check which is triggered is this one, virtually all results there are due to IABot edits.
