Hi John,
Unfortunately, I don't think we have a script for this specific case, but
if you have some Python experience, it should be possible to set this up.
It should also be possible using a combination of listpage.py, a text
editor (or spreadsheet) and replace.py.
Roughly, I would try the following:
- Get a list of all imported page titles (with capitalization) using a
pagegenerator
- Make a dict of lowercase page title to actual page title (e.g. {"sf
fandom": "SF Fandom"})
- Loop over all pages (or all pages with broken links), and use
textlib.replace_links to perform the replacement
The listpages-texteditor-replace alternative might break some pages due to
it using text replacement, but it might be good enough. Same idea:
- Get a list of all imported page titles using listpages.py
- In a text editor, transform each page name into a regular expression
replacement. For example, SF Fandom would become something like
"\[\[(sf fandom)\]\]" "[[SF Fandom|\1]]"
Store those in a file, e.g. replacements.txt. (I'm not sure about the
amount of escaping here).
- Run replace.py with the -nocase -regex -pairsfile:replacements.txt
With this regex, you will not match any situations where a link text is
present; I think you'll need a second regex pair to fix those as well.
