Hey everyone,

It was recently brought to my attention that some of the links to NicoNicoDouga aren't working because the redirect from nicovideo.jp to niconico.jp isn't working anymore. The nicovideo.jp links now result in a blank page or a warning that the site you're about to enter is not secure (maybe something else happened too, but this is what happened when I tried to follow the links). To make sure that people don't start marking videos as deleted when they're actually not, I've made this forum post. If a NicoNicoDouga video is deleted, it'll still bring you to the website (example). So, if you find a NicoNicoDouga link that doesn't bring you to the website, it's probably a nicovideo.jp link instead of a niconico.jp link.

Most of the links should still be fine, as the niconico.jp links mainly stem from a bot that changed all mentions of "nicovideo" to "niconico" (back in the day we used to mark the links "Nicovideo Broadcast" instead of "Niconico Broadcast" and we asked someone to change this using a bot). As this happened in early 2015 (when this wiki was a lot smaller), most of the pages should be fine. However, if you do come across a link that doesn't work, please change it or make note of it in the comments of the page/in the comments here/on my talk page so someone can correct it. Hopefully we'll have fixed all the links soon. I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause in the meantime.

Thank you all for reading this message! Amandelen (talk) 12:10, February 23, 2019 (UTC)
