Source - broken links and Web Archive

Posted under General

The source of post #77793 is a broken link.

Should we use bad_source in these cases? The wiki says "This tag is used to indicate when an image source does not directly point to the source of an image, either as an image link or post link."

Or maybe we need a new tag like broken_link for cases like this? The source might have been good at some point, but maybe the artist deleted the image.

In post #3033976, the original DeviantArt post was deleted so I got the same image from the Web Archive. Should we have a tag like web_archive for these posts?

bad id is the tag you search for.

Bad Source is something completely else.
