Revision as of 20:32, 5 December 2010
Forums: Village pump → New Battle.net WoW site will break tons of links
I was trying to look for the new official fan site page (there apparently isn't one) and I realized that most of the external links with worldofwarcraft.com and wow-europe.com are probably broken now. Can anyone think of a clever way to fix these links without manually looking through all of them? --

- I'll look into it. Do you have any examples? --g0urra[T҂C] 19:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- Worldofwarcraft.com and Wow-europe.com are gone now and redirect to the new websites automatically. Is there any way to access the old content? If not, I'd say we either link to a web archive or remove the links entirely. Since there are only a few content pages on the new website, we can add them manually.—Iggey (talk) 19:43, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- It seems to me that at least some links redirect to the appropriate links on the new site. Examples would be good to test this further. --Pcj (T•C) 19:45, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- From what I can tell a majority of the links to the old sites are broken. I've been slowly trying fix links manually, but some links just can't currently be fixed because Blizzard has not added back the content in the new site. See the Game page and there is a big list of stuff at the bottom under "Upcoming Content..." that they plan to add, but is apparently not accessible. The EU site seems to be dead right now and the US site is very flaky (probably overloaded). -- Fandyllic (talk · contribs) 1:17 PM PST 5 Dec 2010

- The more I look into it, it looks like Blizzard really dropped the ball and didn't identify bunches of important links that need to redirect correctly. Many links on the Blizzard support site still point to the old sites and then just redirect back to support with no guidance. Bad corporate planning is de rigeur at most places, but Blizzard tends to be slightly better. Makes me wonder if Blizzard is starting to get infected by Activision culture. -- Fandyllic (talk · contribs) 1:32 PM PST 5 Dec 2010
