About this data
This page tracks the percentage of dead links in legal statutes referenced in Wikipedia articles. The numbers are calculated by periodically scanning Wikipedia articles for links to legal statutes and verifying their validity. This statistic is interesting because it highlights the erosion of verifiable legal information online, which is essential for factual accuracy and of concern to legal scholars, journalists, and the general public. The data is updated regularly to reflect changes in link status over time. By monitoring this decay rate, we can better understand the challenges of maintaining accurate and reliable online legal information.
Why this isn't published anywhere else
While link rot in general and its impact on Wikipedia are tracked, the specific decay rate of *legal statutes* within Wikipedia articles, as a distinct statistical metric, does not appear to be currently and systematically published.
