@balpha now that Winter Bash has ended, could you confirm that the chicken joke ended with the youtube video and there wasn't anything more hidden behind it?

@Glorfindel I was not sure where to report this to you, but here is an example of an edit by your script which results in a kind of "dead link" - to be more precise, a placeholder for a dead image.
Someone needs to write a Tool that uses the API to look for and present mergable/splitable tags in an easy to read format (fancy tree graph) with a score explaining the gain based on a set of criteria - once it's worked out it can write a Meta post for the user to put up the question - once everything is decided you're one click away from merging or splitting a tag.
@ShadowWizard I believe that the @Glorfindel scripts checks the pictures in some way. And in this case it was a valid link to a picture he got from Wayback Machine. (Just the fact that the picture is just a placeholder was not detected by the script.)
But since Glorfindel knows best how the script actually works, he's the best person to give some response on this. (And whether something can be done about this problem.)
@Glorfindel If I may ask, what is the best place where to report when there is some problem with your script. Any room where I catch you? Or perhaps SOBotics - since it is related to bot/script?
I received my first Winter Bash 2018 Secret Hat, so I decided to start the traditional Secret Hats and how to get them spoiler question.
What are the Secret Hats in 2018 Winter Bash?
@Glorfindel hmm... My best bet is that he wrote that question a while ago, saved as draft but never submitted. Came back today to meta to ask something else and submitted that one by mistake.
@Derpy no they don't own it, imgur does. SE just get to host their images there using API to upload the images. Not sure about legal aspects, but pretty sure that to have image removed they need to contact imgur.
At most, maybe SE dev/CM get to have some secret tool to flag images with some friendly UI. :)
