Minecraft Wiki:Projects/Media Archiving

About
Imgur recently announced that they are deleting all anonymously uploaded images (which is most of them). A lot of the Minecraft developers have shared a lot of anonymously uploaded images on Twitter and Reddit and probably elsewhere, and a lot of them are of some importance to Minecraft history, and a lot of them are not uploaded here or archived elsewhere.

What to do
Here’s what needs to be done:
 * Go through the Twitter and Reddit and other social media accounts of all the Minecraft developers to look for Imgur links. Twitter’s advanced search (https://twitter.com/search-advanced) and the custom Reddit search tool (https://camas.unddit.com/) are good tools for doing this.
 * Save all the Imgur links on the Wayback Machine. Make sure to check the “Save outlinks” option when doing this.
 * Upload relevant Minecraft-related images to the wiki, with links in the file description to the original Imgur page and the comment that the Imgur link is from.
 * Find Imgur links that are already on the wiki and archive those too.
 * Lower priority, but still useful, is also archiving and uploading developer images hosted on other services.
