These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
This is a collection of web page captures from links added to, or changed on, Wikipedia pages. The idea is to bring a reliability to Wikipedia outlinks so that if the pages referenced by Wikipedia articles are changed, or go away, a reader can permanently find what was originally referred to.
Tiny, uninhabited Modriki (and ironically not Castaway Island) featured in the 2001 Tom Hanks movie Cast Away, and every resort worth its cabanas and cocktails sells day trips to what is increasingly referred to as 'Tom Hanks Island' (somewhat confusingly, it's also known as Monuriki). Trips cost around $100 to $140 depending on where you start out and what kind of lunch, if any, is included. The island is beautiful – it's a Hollywood star, after all – and the wide lagoon is perfect for snorkelling. An ongoing program with local people to eradicate feral goats and rats has seen native crested iguanas and wedge-tailed shearwaters successfully reintroduced to the island, so keep your eyes open for them. BYO volleyball for 'Wilson' selfies.
