Function overview: The bot finds pages with links to a redirect page that links back to the original page:
The bot will try and replace the link in question with plain text.
Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Source code available: https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/magnustools/src/master/scripts/circular_redirects/circular_redirects.php
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Diff from a recent circular redirect discussion
Edit period(s): Daily or weekly
Estimated number of pages affected: There are ~300K pages that have circular redirect links, but only ~10% (rough estimate) have a "simple" case that can be addressed by the bot as it is now. Capabilities to solve more complex cases might be added in the future.
Namespace(s): Main
Adminbot No
Function details: Example edit, all test edits.
\s*[Jj]upiter \(planet\)\s*
; the variations contain leading or trailing spaces and/or a lowercase initial letter. Hypothetically, we would remove links from the target (
Jupiter) using the following regex:
\[\[(\s*[Jj]upiter \(planet\)\s*)\]\]
→ $1
\[\[\s*[Jj]upiter \(planet\)\s*\|(.*?)\]\]
→ $1
