I was considering testing this out on Community Central. And while it doesn't support threads/message walls, could a provision be somehow made for archived message wall pages? Example: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Inyuki/User_talk_archive

Or even, maybe it could be upgraded to work on threads (since 90% of the broken links on Central are on threads :-[ )... I know, I know, that's a difficult thing, but let a fella dream. ;-)

Cheers hombre,

Interesting, I was cleaning up a couple of pages and came across this kind of page. Apparently, the script doesn't support it because MediaWiki isn't reporting the right location for those archives for some strange reason. Possibly because they are stored in a different way. At the very least it seems to note that the page does exist : http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Will_Wikis_Work%3F

Anyway, this seems like a good use-case to support. Is there a specific pattern to "archived talk pages", e.g. do they always have end-up in "/User_talk_archive". ?

If so, then it will be easy to get that into the script, if not then it will be a bit more troublesome.
