Heise just took down the H Online archive (the English-language
version of Heise.de, a computer news site). This has broken a *huge*
pile of reference links.

[{Special:LinkSearch]] only shows links in the wikitext - not links
inside reference citation templates.

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:en.wikipedia.org+link:h-online.com
shows hundreds of links. Argh.

What I need to do is (a) find all the links (b) add archiveurl=
(something on archive.org, which seems to have captured the whole
site) and archivedate= .

Are there tools that do any of this job?
