The link to the dictionary of the digitalised treasure of the French language was fake, and it does not appear in other authoritative dictionaries. — This unsigned comment was added by Refulgir (talk • contribs) at 13:12, 10 July 2018‎.

The French section was added by a Canadian IP diff in 2008. Apparently "the Habs" are a Canadian hockey outfit. No idea who added the link. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 13:52, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

The TLFI links were added mostly by bot, with the understanding that a having a lot of good links with a few dead links was better than having no links at all. I wouldn't call any such bad links "fake", just in error. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:03, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
