Thanks. I have prepared the VimTip {{removed}} pages to fix the redirects. However, I can't upload them at the moment. I'm having trouble because my ISP has a transparent proxy, and someone has been spamming/vandalising wikia, and wikia has blocked the IP of my ISP's proxy. Google has shown me that my ISP has some proxies that I can manually specify in my browser. Therefore, I can view and manually edit pages. However, my bot uses pywikipedia and it turns out that while pywikipedia can download through a proxy (you have to set the http_proxy environment variable), it does *not* use the proxy for uploading - it goes direct. I've emailed my ISP to see if they have some way of dealing with this. I wonder if wikia can flag that access from a certain IP (my ISP's proxy) requires the user to log on. If so, wikia could lift the block on the ISP but require authentication.
