Original description:
References to the Internet-resources often become dead and information on external sites is often moved. Therefore, it is very need a bot that would create archive copies of web pages on the WebCite or similar web-resources. The principle of its operation is:
In Russian Wikipedia is User:WebCite Archiver, in the English Wikipedia has a User:WebCiteBOT. In addition, the English Wikipedia has a User:lowercase sigmabot III, written in python. The source code here:
https://github.com/legoktm/webcite-bot
But setting up and using lowercase sigmabot III are available only for experienced python programmers. We would like a version of the bot, which could be understood as a novice programmers and non-programmers. Also, as with all scripts pywikipediabot, the treatment of which requires no special skills. Thanks.
