Active tasks

Archiving dead links via Internet Archive (ADL, MCD, MDY, RDT)
Converting citation urls pointing to archived copy to archive fields (U2A, A2U, MAD)
Remove incorrect Wayback usage from citation fields (RWF)
Converting {{Wayback}} template to preceding citation's archive fields (W2A)
Move links from author/editor fields to author/editorlink= (ALA)

Task explanation[edit]

Occasionally, {{Wayback}} is placed following a {{cite xxx}}, which supports use of |archiveurl=. The bot then converts the template to the |archiveurl= and |archivedate= of the preceding citation.
