Hi, can I ask you to check the network of these articles in those interlinked websites such as the Tintin arctile from http://tintin.fandom.com as these artciles did exist on some of these interlinked wikis?

Thanks.

Hi Lavyny! Thanks for opening the issue. It looks like the issue is with HTTP vs HTTPS. When the checker looks up where the Spanish wiki is located, Fandom tells the tool it is at "http://tintin.fandom.com/es/", which is HTTP instead of HTTPS. For security reasons, browsers don't allow the tool (which is on an HTTPS website) to request these data from an HTTP link. As a result, the Spanish page (and some other languages as well) cannot be loaded, which looks like a missing link.

The proper solution would be to ask Fandom to change the interlanguage links for the Tintin wiki to be HTTPS instead of HTTP, but that could take a while. As a workaround, I'll see if I can make the tool always use HTTPS instead of HTTP, since HTTP doesn't work anyway; and I'll see if I can change the code so that these kinds of errors are visible to the user and don't just stay in the background.

The issue should be resolved as of v1.11.4. You can check the version in the bottom right of the page. You may need to clear your browser's cache to get the right version; you can do this by reloading with Ctrl + F5 on Chrome or Firefox.

If you have any other issues, please let me know!
