Categories[edit]

Should this article really be in Category:Television shows set in Wales? I know some of it was filmed in Wales and there is a strong case for arguing that if a historical Merlin and Arthur existed then at least some of their story took place in Wales, but the series never seems to give a real world location for its Camelot and surrounding environs, other than a vague suggestion that it is in Britain.

Internet Archive links of pages which are not dead[edit]

Hi @Bbb23, I want to ask you something: with my modification on Merlin I wanted to recover some references from Inernet Archive, but I also cancelled some Internet Archive links of still active pages. What's wrong with my modification? If the link is still active, why do we have to put an Internet Archive page? I think IA pages are useful only when the pages are dead. Am I wrong? 87.11.203.154 (talk) 16:24, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I'm not sure what the guideline is on creating archive links for content that is still available at the original source, but I know I've seen it done. Anyway, I'm going to reinstate your edit because, personally, I don't like archive links (they're soooo slow). Maybe someone else can enlighten us.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:09, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
