The source link to the Games Workshop website is useless. Should I change it to point towards the Space Marine Command Squad or just upload an image from Index Astartes: Company Champions and source that instead?

:When you find a dead url, it's always best to check on archive.org and see if the page was previously indexed, if so, you can then get a working archived copy and swap that out in an article for the dead url. When in doubt, just take a quick look at the help pages here, plenty of stuff like this is covered, so I frequently go back just to double check. I've replaced the url in question with an archived version. -- [[User:GrumpyDilettante|GrumpyDilettante]] ([[User talk:GrumpyDilettante|talk]]) 01:34, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
:The situation is like this - as GrumpyDilettante said first we may try to find the source on webarchive. But with games-workshop site it's not always useful because there is only a 'flash' main page saved on webarchive form gw-site, so we can't use it. For old links (nearly 2010-2016 years) there are a lot of links in the Lexicanum to the games-workshop site. And almost all of them don't work now (even with Webarchive page). In these case we assume that such links were active, 'believeing' in the right source. It is as I see this situation. May be other adepts will give their own opinions also.--[[User:Darkelf77|Darkelf77]] ([[User talk:Darkelf77|talk]]) 07:05, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
