Forums: Index > Watercooler > Edit bots
Are there really edit bots available to do some grunt work as mentioned here Traveller Wiki Editorial Team#Bots?
My observations of possible automated edits are (in order of perceived difficulty):
- replace http://stellarreaches.nwgamers.org/issues/ with https://stellarreaches.wordpress.com/issues/
- replace

(defunct)for external links with{{dead link}} - update double redirects by replacing the indirect with the direct link
- replacing duplicate/repeated citations with named references
- check external links and mark defunct links with
{{dead link}}
