I need you guys to vote on this edit. Some guys entered the first three discs of an audiobook as seperate releases. I need to merge them. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/63336134

is there a policy on whether dead links to artist sites that are available in archive.org should be removed, or replaced with an archive link?

rcombs: You can set a URL relationship as ended by editing it (Artist page -> Relationships -> The [info] link next to the URL -> the Edit tab)

should they be replaced with IA links, though?

and if a page moves to a new URL, should the old one be set as "ended", or just removed?

The plan is to automatically replace ended URLs with IA links at some point, I think

If a page moves it's a matter of judgement I think, if you consider it a "new" page or just a new location

IMHO it doesn’t feel right to link an IA snapshot as an homepage, as the homepage is/was the archived URL.

if it's a ia link then we should have some way of altered the link phrase (so insteadof "is the homepage of" it should(if archived) say "was at")

homepage is at -> IA'fyed -> homepage was at

chaban: wonder if it'd make sense to have such links displayed on the release page as well as the RG
