The following request for comments is closed. Closing this RfC as unproductive. Although the underlying issue persists, we cannot blacklist the archive links without a clear and practical plan for their removal and/or mitigation through alternative sourcing methods that both preserve content verifiability and ensure reader safety. A more carefully worded, clearly explained, and balanced request for comment may have merit. However, in its current form, this proposal has no reasonable chance of success.--A09|(pogovor) 18:11, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

With the English Wikipedia declared the use of archive.today links as deprecated and blacklisted, many of you might not really know why archive.today added malicious code to ruin the traffic. A global RFC could help deter users from accidentally visiting the DDoS site. And this is the first time an archive site introduced a malicious code that would eat your device's processes.
