Function overview: Removes direct wikilinks to the same article.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): All edits would be minor visual fixes, and this task has been approved in the past (e.g. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MenoBot 4, checkwiki error 48), so I don't think discussion is necessary.
Edit period(s): Approximately once per month.
Estimated number of pages affected: 4000 initially, 100–200 per month thereafter.
Namespace(s): Mainspace
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Removes direct wikilinks (i.e. not including redirects) to the same article, using this list. Such links do not function, and appear bold inadvertently or improperly. Links that would already be bold (e.g. '''[[Link]]''' or <b>[[Link]]</b>) would be skipped.
- On the article Word, [[word]] → word.
