On Ben Porat Yosef’s page, I needed to cite a pdf file. I uplaoaded it to Google Drive and used its url, however I’m guessing that this is not a permanent solution. A. Rosenberg (talk) 15:02, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'd very much appreciate some assistance in removing a link (that no longer works) from a Wikipedia page. Any help on the best way to resolve this link is welcome. Happy to provide more details!

I'm trying to update a birthday on a wiki page, and it keeps not accepting it. I have a photo of the persons drivers license. but am unsure how to go about getting it changed as the wrong info is cited online. Any help would be appreciated. 173.252.17.63 (talk) 19:38, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
I am wondering what Wikipedia tools I should use for key word searching, within wikipedia.org, through potentially archived talk pages, AN/I and Arbitration Committee findings and the like. Deicas (talk) 23:33, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
(EC) AFAIK, wikipedia.org only exists as a redirect to www.wikipedia.org. www.wikipedia.org only exists as a tool to redirect you to the language specific subsites and also with a search bar with I think possibly only one page and it's managed via meta. Do you mean you want to search all wikipedia.org sub-sites? If so Global Search on Tool Forge which can search all Wikimedia sites. I've never used it but I guess it might allow you to search only wikipedia.org sites. I suspect it can be slow in any case.
But is there any particular reason you want to search all wikipedia.org sites? What happens on other sites rarely concerns us here on en.wikipedia and many do not have arbitration committees, the may have even have something as specific as ANI. Even stuff on simple.wikipedia is generally only of limited interest. In so much as it matters, stuff on commons.wikimedia and on meta, as well as on other sites can generally be just as much of relevance as other wikipedia.org sites. Most sites don't use English so a lot of keywords aren't going to find anything anyway on most of them.
If you want to search en.wikipedia or any specific site, Special:Search on that site can search it. It's available a search bar on the top right of every page on the default desktop skin, although you may need to adjust the settings to ensure it searches the namespace of interest to you. For further help on using the search function, try Help:Searching.
You will be taken to the Special:Search page for the result after searching if you forget how to get there provided there isn't a clear title match (there are options in your preferences which affect matching). If there's a clear title match, you will be taken directly to the page. You can avoid this by selecting containing in the drop down list when searching. Of course you can also type something random to ensure there is no match, e.g. "I want to search all pages" is not a current title match I expect with any settings. The alternative will be to remember or book mark Special:Search.
