The Project

 * Objective: w:c:imotwom is consolidating Egg Pack + Egg pages (n~400) by deleting the current pages and replacing the links on the target pages
 * Links:
 * Egg Pack pages link to 'Egg pages' (1 link)
 * Egg pages link to 'Pet pages' (2 links)
 * All other links in "Special:WhatLinksHere" are not needed and can be removed (I have a tool for that)
 * Egg Pack, Egg, and Pet pages are individually categorized, but fall under a general template

My Proposal

 * 1) Use a tool to identify the link on the target page
 * 2) Replace the link
 * 3) Remove remaining links via a tool

For example, changing "X Egg Pack" on "X Egg" page
 * I want to change the existing X Egg Pack link to Pack

I have attempted using MassEdit, but it seems to be unable to pick up wikitext (PAGENAME)

Rejected Proposals

 * Creating Redirects. We are aiming to reduce page count and having redirects are not in-line with this goal
 * Mass-Deleting pages. We don't want to blindly create broken links
