avoid creating archive link for google books
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

I suggest that archive links should not be created for google books

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

  1. clicked on archive link for google books as created by InternetArchiveBot
  2. attempted to preview book content
  3. unable to obtain any book preview content

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

Archive links for google books creates a reasonable expectation that the preview functionality is available. In fact, this is not the case.

Harej moved this task from Inbox to Backlog: URLs on the InternetArchiveBot board.

Can't this be addressed within the IABot's URL settings? If I recall correctly, this was already set to not create archive links (at least for the English Wikipedia) for a while until recently.
