User blog:Huntthewumpus/Meta:Preserving History

Creating a second blog post in such a short time isn't something one considers when leisurely perusing the googology wiki, but this does put a stroke of vexation deep within my cortex, namely, that a multitude of sources on this wiki have been rendered void and null due to linkrot!

What we can do
It is my recommendation individuals here either begin saving these webpages as .mhtml files which can be stored in a communal archive, or use the good old Wayback Machine to preserve our prosperity of large numbers and their associated etiologies. Naturally, this should not apply just to those websites which have been up for a decade and therefore are statistically most likely to succumb to the digital succubus of linkrot, no, but should be for every relevant site, even if but a month old. If you feel it is worth keeping, archive it. That will solve the linkrot issue, and also be a good backup in the event newer sites somehow go down.

That is all. May all who read take note!
