weblinkchecker.py is correctly searching for death links, but -talk would not reporting them on talk page, only the help text would be prompted. Already waited 8 days and executed -repeat 4 times. The links are listed in the deadlinks file.

I cant reproduce this in core. It seems to work quite well, especially with -days:0 to avoid waiting. Very old bug, not much detail in the bug, and the reporter on sf.net is now 'Anonymous' (deleted acccount?).

Probably was valid, but and may even exist in compat (but I doubt that).

Xqt subscribed.

Won't fix in compat.
