Extension:ArchiveLinks - MediaWiki

From 2011. syn only. Not git. Didn’t bother trying.

Extension:WebCache - MediaWiki

Link to github offline.

Extension:LinkToArchive - MediaWiki

Installed. It does not actually archive links. It adds an [archive] link behind all external links. Clicking on it will show that some of them are indeed archived. Others can be archived if we instruct web archive of doing so. This is a manual process.
