== Inaccessible link ==
IABot “fixed” a link that it reported as inaccessible here: https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chora_%28Patmos%29&diff=66511300&oldid=66454976

However, the link works fine with http on my end. Now I do agree that https is safer (although in this case it was hardly an improvement), but that's no reason to treat a link as “inaccessible”. [[User:Mondo|Mondo]] ([[User talk:Mondo|talk]]) 18:15, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

:Hello [[User:Mondo|Mondo]]. The bot did not necessarily declare the link inaccessible, though the edit summary would indicate that because the bot's edit summaries are very imprecise. The bot upgrades HTTP links to HTTPS where possible, separately from its process of fixing dead links. [[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 18:20, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
:: Hello Harej, in that case, it's against the guidelines of the Dutch Wikipedia. We have the guideline “bij twijfel niet inhalen”, which is similar to the one on EN:WP called ''If it ain't broke, don't fix it'', except that ours is much more detailed. The link was not broken and https hardly made a difference with this specific link, therefore it was against the guideline. I have reverted IABot and added the article to the deny list, but I hope this can be fixed, because this will happen again on other pages.
