Since the change of ownership and web restructure of the Wargamer website in late January 2021 (Approximately Wednesday the 27th), the old review links that you may see on other sites pointing to the former Wargamer site's server may be auto changed to the new server's way of broadcasting their web addresses, despite showing error messages like "Page not found" and "This page has gone AWOL". An example below should show how to switch the incorrect automated web address of an old review link before January 27, 2021 to the correct format using Wayback Machine.

Last review from old pre-Jan 27, 2021 Wargamer server with correct address format (See the 'reviews' word divided before a game review text):
https://www.wargamer.com/reviews/combat-mission-black-sea/

However, the current site server will automatically switch the above link address to the incorrect address format, thus nothing will show up (See the 'review' word without the 's' suffix & that it's moved to after the division of the game review text):
https://www.wargamer.com/combat-mission-black-sea/review

Either the 's' letter can be added to the 'review' word at the end, then the combined 'reviews' word be moved to before the division before a legitimate game review text in the address link. Then the correctly formatted review link can be inputted into the Wayback Machine search bar and with an old archived date before Jan 27, 2021, the link to the correct review page content should successfully be found.^[1]

Another way is to start from a correct archived copy of the old 'https://www.wargamer.com/reviews' link in the Wayback Machine. Then manually search for an old review or article of interest. Although, some article links may not be archived and be lost forever.^[2] ObiKKa (talk) 19:09, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
