| ::::: Ah, I see what you are saying... we could do "backup link" as being linked Archive.org. However, if the link is truly dead, then the first link wouldn't work and would need to be updated manually anyway... -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 10:44, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

| :::::: Unless you have a Bot to do that, doing that manually is crazy. Say we have a thousand links pointing to Syfy.com. Syfy does a website redesign and all those thousand links break on the same day. Having a backup link by default will at least give non editing visitors, something to refer to.
