clean up (restore?!) "rotten links"

[LukasFreeze]

Our wiki relies on external information which we have not checked in a while. Since we have Extension:RottenLinks now (thanks to @NitramLegov in #263 ), I think it would be a good idea to go through the broken links that have accumulated over the years.

Especially in the case of manuals, we need new sources if the old ones are truly gone (and not just slightly renamed)!

Complete List: https://wiki.comakingspace.de/Special:RottenLinks?showBad=1&limit=1000

I suggest these goals to see when to close this issue (for now)

• get the list down to <10 entries
• fix all links to manuals

Tackling these links seems to be a good idea. However, I would like to add a few words on the list & on the targets :-)

Quite a few of the bad links are due to the technology used to generate the list and are not really bad:

• The majority of links with HTTP Response "forbidden" are due to the target server recognizing it was accessed by a bot.
• Links to comakingspace local network targets (e.g. "http://comakingcnc:8080..." cannot be accessed by the bot, since it is running on our server --> Resulting in "No Response"
• Even on the "Not found" list, there are some which perfectly work (e.g. https://www.obi.de...)...
• On the "Gone" list, it seems like Reichelt is using Response code 410 to inform us, that an item is not sold anymore...the link works perfectly though

To add some statistics:

Zeilenbeschriftungen	Anzahl von External Link
Forbidden	102
Gone	3
No Response	44
Not Found	121
Unauthorized	2
Gesamtergebnis	272

I we ignore the Forbidden and Unauthorized links, we will keep 104 links on the list. As indicated, even on the other status codes there are links which work just fine.

Again, I agree to bring the list down. Tackling the manuals first also seems like a very good idea! 😊

However, let´s not be disappointed, if we cannot bring the list down to <10 entries 🙈

Oh, what a relief! I was shocked by the number of entries in this list 😅
