Description Elitre 2014-08-14 15:29:32 UTC 
I met User:Zoony at Wikimania and he said that something which he'd love to see in VE is a way to deal easily with dead (rotten) links.
He suggested that a right click could launch a menu which provides access to several options, from searching on a search engine in a different tab (to try to fix one) to pasting the {{dead link}} template.
(More info about ways to deal with dead links at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot#Repairing_a_dead_link ).
