Wikipedia:Newspapers.com/Deschmutz

Subsequent to the 2023 decision to transfer Newspapers.com memberships over to a TWL proxy, many citations include the cursed schmutz URL, which is. This shouldn't be included in citations — it only works for people who have TWL accounts and are currently logged in! It should be changed, in every instance, to just be.

I, JPxG, would recommend you use PressPass, a userscript for Firefox, Chrome and et cetera which (as of November 2023) properly auto-formats citation templates and removes the URL schmutz. It's written by a big-brain genius named "jp-x-g" so you know it's the good stuff.

In the meantime, these links are automatically fixed once daily by ; there is also a JWB setting to fix the schmutz. You can add this to your own JWB settings, at Special:MyPage/JWB-settings.json, to help in the fight!
