I'm starting Project Gezlak (named after a type of metal elemental that roams Autochthonia) to try to automatically fix the links that were broken during the process of converting to MediaWiki. This would probably be a lot easier with direct access to the server, but I don't have that.
The idea is to use the Python wikipedia robot framework to examine page content, detect certain kinds of damaged links, and repair them. The script is not perfect, so now that it has been run, there may be things that are either still damaged or got damaged by the script.
How You Can Help
Usually, when a link gets damaged, the result winds up pointing to a page that doesn't exist. MediaWiki has a special page that lists pages that are being linked to, but don't exist. Many of the entries on this pages are legitimate pages that no one got around to writing. Some, however, are page names that were never supposed to exist, are being linked to because the links got screwed up. So...
- Go to this special page
- If you see a link that looks a little weird, click on it.
- You will get taken to the editing page for that link. Do not actually edit or save anything. Instead, on the lower left should be a link that says "What links here". Click that.
- You will be taken to a page that shows all of the real pages that contain this bad link.
- Go into them and clean them up.
Errors
If you notice the script had errors, list them here.

Great! I look forward to seeing the results. Thankyou! :) nikink
Screw it. Script running now. I probably could have done this better as an export/alter/import, but the hell with it. - Wordman
Seems to have worked a treat, as far as I can tell on my pages anyway. :) Thanks again! nikink Saved me a lot of work!
