Meanwhile, I wrote a simple JS that tells you when the cursor (in edit mode) is within a "red link", or if it's a disambiguation page, it offers "replace-links" to click on. That should answer the problem of the OP. Could do redirects as well, but didn't want to overload it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske/linkfixr.js Cheers, Magnus _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
