Automatic or Manually assisted: automatic
Programming language(s): python
Source code available: ask me
Function overview: checking and fixing lowcase wikilinks to uppercase sections.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): monthly
Estimated number of pages affected: 1800 (rough guess)
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Y
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function details: wikilinks to sections are case sensitive (eg. #discussion vs. #Discussion). Strategy:
I presume that you won't be fixing interiwki links.
I've come across a number of situations where the link has had a case sensitivity problem but not with the first letter; will the bot check for a case-insensitive match, or just adjust the first letter?
My concern is that there may be some situation where mis-linking to a #section is preferable to changing the case to match an existing section - but I can't think of what that may be. Please raise this BRFA at WP:VPR where someone might think of how this could be a bad idea. Josh Parris 01:33, 28 February 2010 (UTC) reply
WikiProject Red Link Recovery would be interested in a list of broken section links that the bot can find but not fix (even though such links are not actually red). We have the manpower to start fixing them manually, but not to find them all.

Approved for trial (30 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. as there hasn't been even a peep of objection, let's see how the code runs in the real world.

Probably an extended trial would be useful to better evaluate the last script version. -- Basilicofresco ( msg) 18:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC) reply
Approved. After two satisfactory trials.
