Is there a bot which will repair external URL coded links to the same wikinand rewrite them as wiki links?
For example, if MediaWikis were installed in www.example.com/wiki and pages contains links using external link notation blah http://www.example.com/wiki/Some_page blah blah [http://www.example.com/wiki/Some_page some text] blah blah [http://www.example.com/wiki/Some_page#some_section some text] blah then the "What links here" feature would not work because such links are not recognized. The bot would replace those with wiki links: blah [[Some page]] blah blah [[Some page | some text]] blah blah [[Some page#some_section | some text]] blah or blah {{there|some section|Some page | some text}} blah In addition, if the link is to a section of the current page, i.e. on [[Some page]], the second link would be updated as {{here|some section|some text}} There may need to be some way to disable this (i.e. in help or project pages that discuss link notation). Alternatively, could Special:WhatLinksHere be "taught" to recognize the wiki's own URL and count those links? I looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_bots_by_purpose but none of those categories seemed to match what I'm looking for. thanks, djb -- David J.
