Um... aren't we trying to reduce redundancy by linking to preexisting docs instead of replicating them?

Yes, but that doesn't account for the fact that an external resource may eventually change the contents or functionality of the module, and we'll end up with outdated or inaccurate information. I don't think anyone will bother to double check every single module to make sure it is the same.

Maybe we could use the Wayback Machine?

That's a good idea, it is what wikipedia does with dead links. But the wayback machine only archives "important" sites or sites deliberately selected by a person. It also sometimes fails to extract data from sites with https security.
