Forum: forums Subject: Wayback Machine Needs an Overhaul, Especially Regarding the Site Map and the URL List

There is something that needs to be addressed, and that while it can be useful in archiving websites and their various pages, there are most areas like DeviantArt and Artstation, where there should be more work on places like these. Because within the site maps and URL sections when looking on the Wayback Machine, DeviantArt for example, only has people's usernames based on numbers rather than letters.

My proposal to fix this, is that if they cannot work for the main URL and site map features, is to introduce both the Super URL and Super Site Map features, if that is anything to go by, at least specifically for those sort of URLs in order to gain more access to even more archived DeviantArt pages and art. Or we can simply call them URLs 2 and Site Map 2, or just Secondary URLs to Secondary Site Map. Something like that.

As for Artstation, while the pages and images can be archived, the windows that pop up to showcase the images in bigger and better detail, cannot be shown in archived pages. More specifically, anytime I attempt to archive my art on Artstation via the Wayback Machine, it always results in the URL not being found. Can it be possible to fix all this?
