Thanks! Unfortunately I am not a coder, and have no idea how to implement that, We don't have any coders heavily involved with Appropedia.org (there's always a lot of competition for the attention of socially-minded hackers).
I was going to ask if you could help a bit more with the specifics, but there might be an easier way: Is there a way I could run the bot, changing the regular pages, and capturing the names of all the redirect page in a file? There might only be 50 or 100 such pages, and I could find another way to handle those (make it into a list of links, open every page, and copy the names of the target pages to a file one by one).
