Sify
It seems the site is dead with covering the entertainment side; none of the links covering films work. I therefore request that anything tagged as  be changed to dead. Kailash29792 (talk)  05:19, 29 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I processed sify.com in April 2021 Link_rot/URL_change_requests/Archives/2021/April and got some things done. If I recall, the site has soft-404s and probably requires periodic reprocessing to find new soft-404s. Will run again. -- Green  C  01:42, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Done. -- Green  C  04:24, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Baseballlibrary.com -> Baseballbiography.com
Baseballlibrary.com is dead, but Baseballbiography.com is the replacement. Exact same information available. Tons of links need to be updated to the new site.

I noticed that this link to baseball library is dead: http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Dean_Chance_1941 It should be replaced by this one: https://baseballbiography.com/dean-chance-1941/ Thebaseball10 (talk) 20:14, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * User:Thebaseball10: I actually went ahead and programmed the whole thing in which took the better part of an evening. Then I noticed the new site has a lot less material than the old. Compare old with new. I don't think it's gaining anything by switching to the new site. Am I wrong? Wat do you think? -- Green  C  03:08, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * User talk:GreenC: I noticed the same, but might be worth it to have a live website, though. New site has a lot of the same info, missing some things, but at least its live and searchable. Just my 2cents. For me, I loved having a live website, and not having to wait ages to look through wayback to find info on other players, etc. -- User:Thebaseball10


 * User:Thebaseball10: OK did what I could get. Roughly it converted about 1,000 links and added archives to about 100. --  Green  C  16:14, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

ndb.nal.usda.gov
http://ndb.nal.usda.gov is dead. Special:LinkSearch/http://ndb.nal.usda.gov currently shows 352 links in all namespaces. Some pages are now at https://fdc.nal.usda.gov but not the same path. Many of our broken links contain a socalled NDB number which can be searched with some work. For example, Cauliflower currently has http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list?qlookup=11135&format=Full. The search https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/?query=11135 says "0 results" but there is a tab saying "SR Legacy Foods (1)" where "(1)" apparently indicates a search result. The tab has a link to the wanted page on "Cauliflower, raw": https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/169986/nutrients. I only investigated this briefly and there may be better ways to find replacement links. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:02, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * User:PrimeHunter: I'm having trouble web scraping the search result URL because it uses JavaScript. I tried a headless browser, but the data in the "SR Legacy Foods" tab doesn't come through. So I found a convenient Datasets page, the file "SR Legacy - April 2019 (CSV – 6.1MB)" has a table mapping of the old ("11135") to new ("169986") so should be possible. I'll work on it. --  Green  C  17:03, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Good find. 156 of the 352 links start with http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list?qlookup= nnnnn. There are also many like http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/1903 in Amaranth grain. The citation title is "Cereals, whole wheat hot natural cereal, cooked with water, without salt". A search on that at https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/ finds https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/171668/nutrients with NDB number 8145 but no mention of 1903. I don't know how to handle such cases with a script. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:34, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Some of the numbers don't map, the files are incomplete. --  Green  C  20:00, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Results PrimeHunter: If you see anything missed or that might be done yet by bot let me know! -- Green  C  20:53, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Converted 135 links to the new site: example, example, example

Dinamalar Nellai
While the main site still works, the same cannot be said for its subsidiary which now seems to house a different website. All dinamalarnellai refs tagged as live should be changed to dead. Kailash29792 (talk)  06:28, 22 October 2022 (UTC)


 * This is one of the WP:JUDI sites. Needs to be usurped. Working on it now plus 26 other judi-usurped domains. --  Green  C  15:34, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. -- Green  C  23:35, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Warshipsww2.eu
This domain has been usurped or rendered unfit now giving out German gambling spam. It's not related to WP:JUDI

 * Added to JUDI, it's easier to process as a batch, the process is functionally the same. Also added the title string "Roulette Blog" to check for. Thanks! -- Green  C  14:41, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
