Making references to Dutch newspapers in Wikipedia more sustainable, 08-06-2020

Dutch Wikipedia contains some 20.000 citations to Delpher, a digital historical newspaper archive in the Netherlands. Many of those URLs are sustainable, but until recently Dutch Wikipedia also contained thousands of non-future-proof links to Delpher. In this article I show how I found these links and replaced them with persistent URLs, and what the benefits of this search-and-replace operation are.
