Also "Given the number of dead links, I strongly suggest the bot to
place {{Dead link}} instead and attempt to fix them with
Wayback/Webcite. Few people repair dead links in article, and I feel
like posting them on talk page will be even more cumbersome. A
couple of bots are already approved for that, though inactive." per
