"on hold"
I have quite a few links that i want to put "on hold". These are generally ones that are in a database, are giving 404 errors at the moment and i want still there but not showing up, i don't simply want to un-validate them as they clog up validation page.

So basically what i want to do is replicate the validate section. Add another query "isvalidated2" for take of argument and do it like that. The question is then, where do i have to add the routines to stop it being built or displayed using cgi. (this also raises another question, as all my previous experience was with links 2.0 do we have to do all changes twice, one in nph-build and one in page.cgi for this type of thing?

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction :)

Can't help on the first part yet, but it's something to add to the to-do list.

In general, no. All those routines have been extracted/abstracted out to Build.pm

BTW... this is something that has been much requested, and Alex should probably address this formally. I know several ideas on how to increase the 'status' of the links have been proposed, and he might be working on a much more robust solution than a simple "preview" area.

oh that is good news, i just started coming across it now with the few hundred or so dmoz.com links imported that are returning 404, don't want to delete but don't want listed and don't want to clog up validation area.

Would be good to here from alex, any ideas when he gets back ? :)
