Forum:Has a redlink removal bot been designed?

I'm an admin on Bondpedia, a James Bond wiki not affiliated with Wikia, and in order to improve its content, I import articles from Wikipedia (and give proper attribution, of course). But one of the problems with that is the number of useless red links that remain in the articles. I've had to remove them by hand, which is extremely tedious. Has anyone designed a bot which can be used to remove all the red links from a page? If so, could someone please create a bot account of this type on Bondpedia for me. Or if one hasn't been designed, who is someone I would need to get in contact with in order to see it happen? This could be a great tool for Wikia as well.


 * That would be useful. I use Special:Wantedpages and the replace.py script on pywikipediabot to remove redlinks, but this is only useful when there are multiple links to the page. Then again, red links can be a good thing - they encourage people to start those articles. -- Manticore   (talk)  01:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
