HTML special chars have no place inside URLs, pipe or not. IABot does limited checks to clean up the URL, including checking for these things, but bad formatting isn't the answer to your problem, and IABot is not built to handle all kinds of misformatting. The URL encoding for a | is %7C.

If you feel you are right then you can tag the reference with {{cbignore}}

Clicking the link takes you to a 404. When clicked on there is no | in the browser’s URL. The URL is being read like any browser reads it and is normalizing it accordingly.

It is not a bug. HTML encoding breaks URLs. Case in point being that the archive doesn’t work.

Both don't even work in the first place. So this report is invalid.

Implemented in v1.5beta2

Bot is shut down on all wikis.

I am shutting the bot down. A maintenance script must be run on the existing DB values for this to work. It will also provide for the opportunity to test the new implementation.

Please do not re-open tasks that have been declined. Sometimes the Wayback Machine just doesn't provide an archive. Things could have changed at the time the bot requested an archive.

Implemented in v1.5beta2.

I cannot wait to test this.

There is nothing to be done here. If the bot doesn't find one, then a human needs to find a working archive. Another bot actually helps IABot with this to provide it with archives IABot cannot find.

Fixed in v1.5beta2

Oops.

Translations installed.

This implementation is ready to be tested in v1.5beta2. If successfully false positives to drop off significantly.

v1.2beta4 will have these improvements as well as providing the reason a URL is seen dead for already reported URLs.

This is fixed in CID v1.3.1 and GUI v1.2beta2

That should also fix the false positive.

It is a site much like Google Books covering published Norwegian books for the last four centuries. This one should be a link to a book where you only get metadata; Ibsen. If you do get the scanned book, then something is broken…

This link is the permanent link. During initial lookup the domain "nb.no" is used, and due to sloppy editing it has made its way into Wikipedia.

Checking for reverted edits is an extremely costly task to implement. A different solution is in the works.

It already has rights to run on that wiki. You're not even providing any diffs.

Cost of implementation is too high.

Sure it's badly configured. Writing software would be so much easier if everybody would just adhere to the standards. ;)

There's no need to "sanitize" the plus signs, they are valid. The only requirement from the Wikipedia side of things is that the server accepts the URL verbatim, which it does. When I enter the URL in archive.org, it gets turned into http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.musicvf.com/Buck+Owens+%252526+Ringo+Starr.art.

IABot cannot detect soft 404s. It already applies measures to prevent the use of 404 archives. Another bot is helping to prevent these in the background.

IABot uses filters when requesting archive copies. Any instances of defective archives must have happened retroactively.

How interesting. The URL isn't being sanitized in the reporter. It would also appear the server hosting that page is badly configured. It clearly doesn't seem to recognize the LEGAL version of the URL which has the + encoded into %2B.

IABot has checks in place to account for temporary outages. A different ticket with the solution is open for this particular problem.

There are multiple methods to preventing the bot from repeating the same edit in place. It's documented in the FAQ.

InternetArchiveBot has been rejected from frwiki.

This would require additional servers to implement, and must be outside of the Labs' infrastructure.

Yes it does. If it really is seeing it as dead, then it provides the reason in parentheses next to the URL.

Please report false positives with the false positive reporter.

@Lucas Trial complete.

Bot is awaiting final deployment.

@Iniquity Pinging again. Bot trial cannot move forward without translations.

@MarcoAurelio I almost forgot. I need some translations done, before I can deploy the bot. Would you mind helping?

Bot approved. Pending approval.

URL is plenty dead and when copied to the FP reporter is found in the DB.

Translations installed. Beginning bot trial.

@Iniquity. I could have sworn I asked for this but I can't find it.

I just need the translations, and I can run the bot to trial it.
