Dead blog links
Hi, I noticed you were seeing a bunch of blog links not working anymore. For instance: It just hit me, I've seen that before; when they redid their blog, they changed the paths of all the entries. You just remove the 'day' directory, for instance: I dunno if that changes things, but I thought I'd let you know! Cheers, – Sealbudsman talk/contr 19:29, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * http://mojang.com/2012/01/19/minecraft-snapshot-12w03a <-- this old link was dead,
 * http://web.archive.org/web/20120122055400/http://mojang.com/2012/01/19/minecraft-snapshot-12w03a. <-- so you re-pointed it to the archive.
 * http://mojang.com/2012/01/minecraft-snapshot-12w03a <-- this link works.


 * Removing the day works indeed... Never noticed it until now. And yes, it does changes things, like using less bytes per page ;). Thanks for letting me know! -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 19:48, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Interwiki
I see that you frequently update interwiki links. This operation can be much simplified by using bot. You can use Pywikibot, AWB, or any other bot software. You'll just have to run a command and links on all wikis will be updated. But you need to create another account for it (DarkShadowBot, DarkBot, ShadowBot, TNTBot?). --dand0 (talk) 17:19, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm currently having a look into AWB, mainly because I can't code... Is, by the way, AWB able to add interikis to multiple Wikis at once? -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 18:04, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if AWB is able to update interwiki now. :/ And you don't need to have coding skills to use command line bots. :P --dand0 (talk) 18:13, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Well... I've set up my (future) bot account (BrightShadowBOT) and I decided to go with Pywikibot. I think the only things that are left to do is doing a test and asking for a bot flag for BrightShadowBOT, or am I overseeing some things? -- DarkShadowTNT  NL Admin ( t  ♦  c ) 12:03, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yea, simulate interwiki update on some article and if everything is OK ask for the flag. And why is it not a Bot but a BOT? --dand0 (talk) 13:35, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
