API change will break your bot
I noticed that MadmanBot has been using http:// to access the API, rather than https:// This is going to break soon, because of changes to the API. You can find more information in this e-mail message. If you need help updating your code to use https:// , then you might be able to find some help at w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard or on the mailing list.

Request
Hi there Madman (no insult intended!), from Portugal.
You were the user that kindly helped out and templated all the ZEROZERO external links after I filled out a WP:FOOTY report (see for example here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Litos_(Portuguese_footballer,_born_February_1974)&diff=485585114&oldid=475316975), with my previous account AlwaysLearning. Now, per this other report (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Portuguese_Football_Federation), and given I present one example with the old link and another with the current one, do you think your bot can revive all the crashed links?
Thank you very much in advance, happy editing/weekend --Be Quiet AL (talk) 18:53, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
