I found them. At least I think I did. Was whole lot more extensive than I remembered. Don't have a lot of time to go through stuff at the moment. 

Here is an example of one of the "sweeps" I did on this wiki Something Sweet to Bite, a very small wiki for a fanfic that I was using to testing archiving wikia/fandom wikis. They were often very problematical and poorly constructed no mater what I did. Never got around to testing WARCs. 

One of the problems I had was trying to filter out the sheer size of them (as someone who doesn't have the most hard drive space and was working... very ad hoc often. I'll say that). Even when I let things go with full on recursion or whatever I had issues. 

I need to organize and make sense better of what I did. I have 15 sweeps of this site, most appear similar expect some having more broken links than others. If you view this site with the internet turned on you won't see the broken mess things are.

Oh and, Windows users might have difficulties opening this zip.

Yes, you are correct.  and if you look around, you'll often see my posts riddled  with little misspellings.  

Snaps, I'll admit they might have there purposes in some places, same for flatpaks , but the attitude of moving everything to them just feels like it will introduce another layer of overhead and complexity in some areas despite the intended user friendliness.

Yes, many archive it, and that is important. I do not discount that effort at all as I have been part of such efforts as well. Though,

is a separate and more neglected task than archival. Lots of things have been saved, but are often inaccessible data dumps and a bit hidden to the average person.

This is still a very good point. When you are dealing with TB of data, especially five years of purging and such, can I blame those anons and others for not giving much of a thought? No. Still, I think the point still stands.
