User:Dispenser/Checklinks

Checklinks is a tool that checks external links for Wikimedia Foundation wikis. It parses a page, queries all external links and classifies them using heuristics. The tool runs in two modes: an on-the-fly for instant results on individual pages and project scan for producing reports for interested WikiProjects.

The tool is typically used in one of two ways: in the article review process as a link auditor to make sure the links are working and the other as a link manager where links can be reviewed, replaced with a working or archive link, add citation information, tagged, or removed.

As of September 2020, the Checklinks service is only usable via direct IP link.

Cite error: There are <ref group=note> tags on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=note}} template (see the help page).
