Wikipedia backlinks: expired domains cited by Wikipedia
Wikipedia backlinks on 5,809 expired domains, each cited from a Wikipedia article in our web crawl. Age, history and availability checked. Browse free.
Wikipedia backlinks point at 5,809 expired domains in this directory. Each domain has expired, is available to register, and is cited from at least one Wikipedia article in our web crawl. Names are masked until you reveal them. Every metric is open. A Wikipedia link comes from a citation or an external link on an article, and Wikipedia marks outbound links nofollow, so its value is as evidence that editors judged the site a reliable enough source to cite.
The Wikipedia link is found, not claimed. Referring domains are counted from our own web crawl, not from a paid link index. Availability is re-checked against the live DNS root over DNS-over-HTTPS, and a listing that turns out to be registered is removed. Site history comes from archived captures: the archived snapshot count and the span of years the site was captured. Revised Score blends link-graph centrality, referring domains and site history into one 0 to 100 grade, computed across the whole directory.
A link from Wikipedia is one signal. Read it alongside the referring domain band, the site history and the Revised Score on each listing, and browse the other sources for domains linked by universities, encyclopedias, communities and press.

How do I find expired domains with Wikipedia backlinks?
Browse this page. Every listing has at least one referring domain from Wikipedia in our web crawl, has expired, and is available to register. Names are masked and metrics are open. Reveal a listing to get its name, then register it at any registrar.
How do you know a domain has a link from Wikipedia?
The link was found in our own web crawl, pointing from a Wikipedia page at the listed domain. The graph is a snapshot of the crawl at the time it was built, so a link removed since then can still appear until the next snapshot is processed.
Does a Wikipedia backlink still help after the domain expires?
It depends on what you build. The link stays in place as long as the Wikipedia page does, and it resolves to whatever is at the domain now. Google's expired domain abuse policy targets expired domains repurposed for unrelated content, so a site that continues the old domain's subject keeps the benefit and one that changes subject should not expect to.
