Editbot please replace a defunct Rootsweb domain with a new one

Question

The Newfoundland Genweb website recently moved from rootsweb to a new host. As far as I have seen, the https://sites.rootsweb.com/~cannf/ domain can be directly replaced to fix the links.

so: https://sites.rootsweb.com/~cannf/wcbstg_bapt_sprc2.htm 

becomes: https://nlgenweb.dreamhosters.com/wcbstg_bapt_sprc2.htm 

I've noticed already that people are starting to replace citations with notices that the website no longer exists. It'd be great if we expedited the simple fix to forestall a bigger mess.

Answer 1

That is a great request. There are almost 1000 links to that site. Not all of them are marked with a suggestion, but they would be on next recheck.

I will run the bot.

Comments

Amazing. I see the changes, spot checked a dozen, and they are all perfect.

THANKS!

Cool, found one "Error: Unsupported UTF character" and went in and fixed it manually.

Thanks again.
