In Wikipedia I regularly run into dead reference links which have not been archived by the Wayback Machine, even though one could assume that links from Wikipedia should be on a priority list for their web crawler to archive automatically. Not yet. I take it that they are working on something along that line, though.
Similar, if you save a link in the Wayback Machine manually, it would be reasonable for them to try to recursively harvest all outgoing pages from there on as well over some reasonable span of time (in order not to overload the site), but they don't - all pages have to be added manually at present.

I have meanwhile made it a personal habit to manually trigger the archiving of almost every useful page I run into. There's a Firefox addon named "Archive URL" saving a lot of copy & paste work necessary otherwise:
