I thought you may wanna know at least one mission is gone by Rando on 2018-05-22 06:38:00 UTC Reply

So I'm a rando who browses the Wiki. I was browsing Killed Badfics when I found that the mission to "Angel of darkness" was dead - it links to hosting site ads now, and it looksnlike the domain expired. Wayback doesn't have a backup for anything ither thsn front page, so you may wanna check the other missions by the same author. Sorry if this was sn annoyance, figured you all might want to know.

Okay! by Zingenmir on 2018-05-22 13:50:00 UTC Reply

Took me a bit of time to figure out which section of Killed Badfic to look at (why didn't I just ask? I have no idea. Why did I start from the top and thus search almost every page before finding it? It seemed like a good idea at the time). Anyway, it seems you were in the Video Games section, looking at a mission by Ellipsis Flood...and I'm quite happy to tell you that the mission isn't lost forever! It's just using an older (or just different) link, apparently. This should be the mission you're looking for! (It won't link properly because it's an archived link that thus looks like two in one, so I'm just going to paste it in like so: https://web.archive.org/web/20150814155403/http://flooding-ellipses.net/template.php?src=mission1.ppc )

Ellipsis Flood, on her user page and agent pages, lists two (archived) sites (okay, there's also a third with "older missions" on it), neither of which, interestingly enough, match the link that isn't working. Probably what we ought to do is go through and make sure that the links work, replacing where necessary. In the meantime, I suggest going through her agent pages (all of which are linked on her user page here!)

Mind you, while we're on this topic: pretty much all of IndeMaat's mission links don't work, at least on the Killed Badfic page. I forget if there's a working link elsewhere; I do vaguely remember years ago thinking I was going to go around replacing the links. I'll...look into that again, hold on...

Right, yeah. The links exist, I believe for almost all the missions, if memory serves. I or someone else should replace those links as well. I think it's just on the Killed Badfic (TV Shows, DW/Torchwood and the A-Team, mainly) page where they don't work; I tried a couple on the agent pages, and they seem to be working fine.

Anyway: now we know! And thanks for drawing our attention to it!

Looks like a job for the Archivist's Apprentice by Hieronymus Graubart on 2018-05-25 17:21:00 UTC Reply

Links for Ellipsis Flood are fixed.

Checking Indemaat.

That's a lot of missions.

This may take some time.

I found the Dreamwidth archive for Laburnum and Foxglove's missions, among others: https://rc88.dreamwidth.org/

Re: Indemaat's missions by doctorlit on 2018-05-26 13:06:00 UTC Reply

Over a few years, I went through and double-checked all the Indemaat links on her character pages, and on the continuum pages where her missions appeared. I didn't think to do the Killed Badfic page, so sorry for that oversight on my part. You can do it if you want, or leave it for me to get to, though I don't know when I'll have time to get to it. But if you go for it, all the links on her character pages should already be correct for you to use.

Amazing! by Zingenmir on 2018-05-31 08:46:00 UTC Reply

It was a lot of work, from glancing at the wiki's recent activity. I can't wait to check it out properly! Thank you so much for taking it on.
