Original reporter here – I think it's important to avoid using HTTP links and enforce the use of HTTPS-only links. Another issue is that you can never be responsible for the content of an external link you don't control. Additional questions should be: Will the content endure, and what is the likelihood that the site will remain accessible?
Can you quote the content in full and give create to the original author and also point to a link?

https://www.usemod.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseModWiki says:
In september 2023 the domain usemod.com expired and the wiki was moved to www.usemod.org.
The mb.pl?WhyWikiWorks page is currently served at http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/?WhyWikiWorks, however, HTTPS is not served.
According to https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WhyWikiWorks, the domain is drop-catching since Feb 4, 2024, at least.

Revised links to meatballwiki in our wiki pages and source in [17839,17840]. Currently, no links to the old site. See search:usemod.com&wiki=on.
Also, the default-pages files are copied from wiki pages in trac.edgewall.org and distributed on each release.
Hm, we should delete links to
usemod.comor replace other website, in default pages and trac.edgewall.org.
