Function overview: Do edit for fixing CW Error #550 (Link without text).

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Java (WPCleaner)

Source code available: On GitHub (especially algorithm 550)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): Twice a month

Estimated number of pages affected: A few hundreds (a dry run on Wikipedia:CHECKWIKI/WPC 550 dump results in 162 modified pages out of the 671 pages found in the dump analysis)

Namespace(s): Main

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: The bot will remove links the form [[XXX|<nowiki/>]] because such links are useless and are probably a bug due to the Visual Editor (VE) or the Translation tool (CX). It will help fixing some issues not fixed with the split links.

I already run a similar task on frwiki with 76 edits.

• Speedily Approved. Saw quite a few of these when looking over the previous task, so I know it works out. Primefac (talk) 21:53, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
