Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Manual
Programming language(s): AutoWikiBrowser
Source code available: AWB
Function overview: PuggleBot would change wikilinks to moved pages following a Requested Move
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): Would run daily
Estimated number of pages affected: I can't give a number, as it depends on how many RMs are closed as successful every day, and how many links there are to those pages.
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): No
Function details: After a Requested move discussion is closed as successful, PuggleBot would find the RMs where changing the links would be convenient, and will then look for all the links to the former title, and change them to the new title. There is a clearer example on PuggleBot's userpage.
It would be run once a day with very close supervision, and hopefully after a few months of successful operation I would look into changing to automatic.

Needs wider discussion. I could see something like this being useful as a manually-triggered cleanup for moves where the redirect is not intended to remain. I'm highly skeptical of a near- WP:COSMETICBOT automatically changing cases where the redirect will remain. Let's see a Village pump discussion showing people actually want this.

Also, it's unclear to me whether the intended behavior of the bot is to change [[old title]]
to [[new title]]
or [[new title|old title]]
