External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on MainConcept. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://archive.is/20130616001915/http://www.rovicorp.com/company/news-center/pressreleases/1434_17379.htm to http://www.rovicorp.com/company/news-center/pressreleases/1434_17379.htm
• Added {{dead link}} tag to http://www.tvbeurope.com/main-content/full/rovi-releases-mainconcept-hevc-sdk

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Proposed merge of MainActor into MainConcept

MainActor doesn't meet notability guideline yutsi (talk) 18:10, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

• Comment MainActor or MainActor Broadcast (Amiga versions in the early to mid 1990s) is/are probably notable for a stand-alone article (I was able to find few reviews and other articles in Amiga magazines of that era), but a merge is a good course of action for a time being. If anybody wants to expand the article, I can provide sources I found. Even after a merge, the article can be recreated later anyway. Pavlor (talk) 11:13, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

  Oh, could you post those sources here? I hadn't encountered them. yutsi (talk) 00:01, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Yutsi, any further thoughts on this? The merger has been pending for a couple months and I'm wondering if it needs further discussion. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:38, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

I've removed the merge tags since this discussion is inactive. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:43, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
