| Feb 2, 2022 at 6:52 | comment | added | Calvin Khor | Sorry, I likely edited the post before you checked it. The two condensationpoints links were math.stackexchange.com/questions/59549/… and math.stackexchange.com/a/96570/80734 | |
| Jan 27, 2022 at 18:04 | comment | added | Glorfindel | Hmm ... that last search now gives only one hit. I don't I can figure out what's wrong with the script. We'll see how many replacements it can make. | |
| Jan 26, 2022 at 9:56 | comment | added | Glorfindel | Thanks @CalvinKhor - I'll have a look tonight, I found another example: https://math.stackexchange.com/search?q=url%3A%22planetmath.org%2Fencyclopedia%2FCondensationPoints.html%22 gives two hits while my results only show one failure. | |
| Jan 26, 2022 at 5:29 | comment | added | Calvin Khor | Similarly had two hits instead of one for http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/CompactMetricSpacesAreSecondCountable.html, hit1 and hit2; hit2 had a bare link. If its not too much trouble to check the script... :) Otherwise I'll stop updating you / other people until they're all done | |
| Jan 22, 2022 at 16:01 | comment | added | Glorfindel | @CalvinKhor my script should detect those 'bare' links as well, I have no idea what happened :) | |
| Jan 22, 2022 at 14:48 | comment | added | Calvin Khor | bug? :) I am slowly going through the failures, and I found that there were 3 hits for http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/ProofThatAllNormsOnFiniteVectorSpaceAreEquivalent.html but the failures list says 2 hits. Perhaps this one was the culprit link since it just includes the url directly in the post instead of formatting it properly | |

| Jan 16, 2022 at 14:26 | comment | added | Glorfindel | @CalvinKhor it's not that many broken links, and since Stack Exchange posts should never rely on links for crucial information, I prefer a slow pace. I'll update my answer with links (oh, the irony) to the results of a dry run. | |
| Jan 15, 2022 at 16:43 | comment | added | hardmath | Thanks. Three a day is quite conservative for a large volume site like Math.SE, but if it works across a spectrum of StackExchange sites, I'm happy with that. | |
| Jan 14, 2022 at 11:39 | comment | added | Calvin Khor | Sorry, I meant to ask about cases like in your comment here where converting http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/Rotate.html to https://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/Rotate doesn't work and the correct answer is instead https://planetmath.org/euclideantransformation. It should be easy to check for false-positives by matching with the entries as listed out in PlanetMath's index page, but I expect the fix requires a human..? | |
| Jan 14, 2022 at 9:16 | comment | added | Glorfindel | You're welcome! I expect the /encyclopedia fix to be highly effective, since that is just reindexed content; for /sites I'm not sure, but I can do a dry run first and check which URLs can only be fixed manually (and post them here of course). | |
| Jan 14, 2022 at 9:08 | comment | added | Calvin Khor | Excellent, thank you! Do you expect to be able to fix every such broken link, and if not can you put out a list of exceptional cases? I'd agree with fixing the /sites links too. | |
