Bot breaks GhostArchive links by inserting WaybackMachine ones.
Open, MediumPublic

Description

Affected wiki(s):
English Wikipedia

Diff(s) (if applicable):

What is happening?:
I occasionally use the website https://ghostarchive.org/ to archive links that otherwise cannot be archived by http://web.archive.org/. The bot seems to see those ghostarchive links and attempts to insert a webarchive link, thus breaking the archive.

What should happen instead?:
The bot should not touch ghost archive links.

IABot is still replacing GhostArchive's archive links, see the 3rd diff block here. Is there an estimated timeline and when will this be fixed? Thanks!
