Correcting sources for bad_link posts

Posted under General

Some tumblr image links (such as the ones in the source field for post #3807519, post #3832027, and post #3961215) have a redirect to the tumblr post. It seems to not show up on tumblr posts older than March 2015, as the oldest example of this I could find with a cursory search is post #2307153, but that's just a guess. Anyways, would it be possible to use this to automate more bad link correction (or do it manually, worst case scenario)?

Actually, you *can* find posts older like that this way. The oldest example I could find is from 2008: post #285677. I think it's mostly a matter of whether or not a post still exists.

Now I'm confused, because I've seen that show up for deleted tumblr posts, such as post #2451902.

Bump. I'd like to get confirmation on whether or not it'd be possible to automate this.

It's possible. I'm going to cook an automatic periodic scan up this week if I can remember and nobody gets to it before me.

Thank you. It looks like it's possible to do the same thing with data.tumblr.com links if you replace "data" in the URL with "media".

This option might not always be available. I tried it a few days back, but it didn't work, but today it did, no problem.

One thing I'd also keep in mind for fixing bad links is that a lot of such Danbooru posts might also be lacking a commentary. If the automated source updating feature is implemented, then that should be also kept in mind.

@nonamethanks Here's the ping you requested regarding automatically fixing bad links from Artstation using saucenao.

Done. Nuked around 900 posts.

There's still a hundred or so posts left, a few have saucenao results but I couldn't automate it because it was revisions or bad metadata, so they'll have to be done manually.
