worldcurl.com to curlingzone.com
Hello! Recently, the World Curling Tour's old website (worldcurl.com) went down, affecting many references for curling-related articles. Some of the URLs may be archived, but all of the data is still accessible at curlingzone.com. Here are the main changes needed for non-archived worldcurl.com web reference URLs:
 * www.worldcurl.com/ranking, www.worldcurl.com/rankings, and www.worldcurl.com/oom/oom can all be changed to www.curlingzone.com/rankings (ex. http://www.worldcurl.com/rankings.php?task=week&orderby=ytd&oomid=81&eventyear=2018&week=38 becomes http://curlingzone.com/rankings.php?task=week&orderby=ytd&oomid=81&eventyear=2018&week=38)
 * www.worldcurl.com/event, www.worldcurl.com/events, and www.worldcurl.com/oom/events can all be changed to www.curlingzone.com/event (ex. http://www.worldcurl.com/events.php?eventid=3415 becomes https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?eventid=3415)
 * www.worldcurl.com/player can be changed to www.curlingzone.com/player (ex. https://www.worldcurl.com/player.php?playerid=265 becomes https://www.curlingzone.com/player.php?playerid=265)
 * www.worldcurl.com/teams can be changed to www.curlingzone.com/teams (ex. https://www.worldcurl.com/teams.php?ey=2020&et=81 can be changed to https://www.curlingzone.com/teams.php?ey=2020&et=81)

If anyone could make these changes, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Allthegoldmedals (talk) 12:27, 13 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Updated Template:WCTevent and requested help for changing Template:World Curling Tour. Looking into the above.. -- Green  C  15:16, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Move completed. It modified about 2,000 links in 350 articles. It included unwinding archive URLs that could be made live again, and adding archive URLs where the new URL didn't work. This was a fairly complex case (the remote site was slow falsely reporting dead links and had to reprocess a couple times; free-form plain text variations; bare links outside refs). The http looks complete, except for the home page which I did not migrate. The https is mixed in with the template so difficult to tell if anything was missed. -- Green  C  23:25, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you! A few of the archive URLs that were changed to live URLs don't have the same information (I must've missed a few cases) but I can manually revert those. Much appreciated! Allthegoldmedals (talk) 23:54, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Project Gutenberg etext links
Project Gutenberg has changed its URL format from www.projectgutenberg.org/etext/1234 to www.projectgutenberg.org/ebooks/1234 without leaving a site-wide redirect. The new format is documented on their site.

Please change the articles in these search results to the new URL prefix (change "/etext/" to "/ebooks/"). If any links are using http:, they can be changed to https:.

Thanks in advance. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Jonesey95, this is complete. I messed up on the logging so can't accurately say how many were changed, but it edited 2,264 articles. Probably close to 3,000 links. There are 13 remaining articles in the regex search due to archive URLs, will leave ti you what to do if anything. -- Green  C  21:09, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Somehow, there appeared to be one left. It was on the same line as one that you fixed, which makes sense based on my experience with regexes. The archive links that I checked are working fine, so we should leave them alone. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:12, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
