External link¶

Checklinks produces detailed reports on external links in Wikipedia articles. Editors then can repair dead links with the Wayback Machine or WebCite with a few clicks. It also features an autonomous mode where it builds web page history while preventively archiving using WebCite for WikiProjects.

Reflinks is well known by many Wikipedians. It can significantly reduce the amount of time spent converting a URL-only reference into a full citation.
