These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to. That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved.
Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.
This is a collection of web page captures from links added to, or changed on, Wikipedia pages. The idea is to bring a reliability to Wikipedia outlinks so that if the pages referenced by Wikipedia articles are changed, or go away, a reader can permanently find what was originally referred to.

Seit dem 22. November 2005 steht Angela Merkel an der Regierungsspitze der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Sie ist die erste Frau und die erste Ostdeutsche, die das Amt des Bundeskanzlers inne hat.
Vor Merkel leiteten seit 1949 sieben Männer die Regierungsgeschäfte der Bundesrepublik. Jeder von ihnen sah sich ganz unterschiedlichen Herausforderungen gegenüber – und prägte zugleich mithilfe seiner Richtlinienkompetenz seine Zeit.
