Task explanation

[edit]

This is an extension of Converting citation urls to archived copy to archive field. Basically, editors in addition to using archive.org for main |url=, also sometimes treat other fields as if the citation is to Wayback. That is only fine for material made/published by Wayback (hence this is done only with task 4).

So: When moving archive url from |url= to |archiveurl=, also:

  • Remove |publisher= and/or |work= field that contains (wayback|internet\s*archive|web\s*archive|archive-?it|archive\.org|web\.archive)
  • Remove |format= field that contains (archive|wayback)

Will be expanded if/when I find new cases.
