Wikipedia:WikiProject Bluelink patrol/Archive
This is an archive of both completed and continuing investigations into potentially bad bluelinks. The information is laid out in sortable wikitables for consistency, for ease of access and of adding entries (just stick new ones on the end), and to make the page look professional. ISO date format, yyyy-mm-dd, is used for simplicity of sorting and to annoy equally everyone except Japanese editors.
You don't have to be a member of the WikiProject to add to this subpage.

Tabulated records
[edit]This is the structured part of this archive. It lists bluelinks which editors have looked at in more-or-less recent times, to minimise duplication of effort. Negative reports should be added; they tell other editors that a bluelink may not need heavy attention.
(Please overwrite the dummy entries, which are there only to show that the table works.)
