Re-deploy InternetArchiveBot to Japanese Wikipedia [jawiki]
Open, In Progress, HighPublic

Description

InternetArchiveBot has been blocked on Japanese Wikipedia for years. There were two reasons: (1) editing faster than permitted (2) falsely concluding links are dead. Problem 1 has been solved and Problem 2 might be solved. This task is to track re-deployment of InternetArchiveBot to Japanese Wikipedia.

Harej triaged this task as High priority.

Deployment on Japanese Wikipedia will be delayed as we figure out how to ensure that the dead link checking process is reliable for websites hosted in Japan.

Figured out another way to proceed. Until our ability to detect dead links (for Japan-based websites) is sufficiently reliable, we will only fix links that have been already tagged as dead. I will proceed with a new bot approval application and unblock request.
