Updating links in an article
Regarding: Acronymns & Abbreviations page Additional Resources Websites

I was searching specifically for the abbreviation ODM referencing place name. The Article had nearly every link to an outside source for genealogy abbreviations return various errors or state that they moved. Whose responsibility is it to update links & where should I address this & with whom? I also tried googling & searchign the wide wide world of knowledge (the internet) but was coming up empty. FS Wiki is usually the best search option for all things Genealogy. I'd like to be able to use updated links. I hope this message is humourus not angry. It is just frustrating that most results have to do with manufacturing not genealogy...

I can edit but is this my purview or someone specifically assigned links?

Reply to updating links
Thank you for alerting us to those obsolete links! To answer your questions, yes, since you are an editor, you may update links if you choose. We also update obsolete links when they are found. You can let us know either by sending us a message on your talk page (as you just did), or by adding information to the Talk page of the article in question. We review every edit to the Wiki, including comments added to Talk pages, so they will be seen. I will review and update the links on the Acronyms and Abbreviations page. As I'm sure you can understand, with around 100,000 Wiki articles, keeping on top of links is a constant activity, and help from the community is always welcome - either by updating links or alerting us to the issue.

Thank You, psleavens
You are great! Thanks. I was just showing another missionary things & totally did not expect it to already have been addressed. Keep it up! I love you.

You are most welcome, Allura! Things change so fast as organizations revamp their websites, or smaller websites disappear completely. I love fixing broken links on the Wiki - it's one of the main things I do. I'm so glad you reached out about what you found! psleavens, Wiki Support Team (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2023 (MDT)
