Disambiguation of links on Lists of PlayStation 2 games

During your edits to List of PlayStation 2 games (A–K) and List of PlayStation 2 games (L–Z) you have introduced lots of links to disambiguation pages (over 100 on each list). These are not helpful to the reader and should normally point to specific articles. It would be great if you could fix these. To help with this you can get the software to highlight links to dab pages by going to your preferences (top right), then the tab for "gadgets". Scroll down to "Appearance" & put a tick next to "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". This will highlight them when you preview an article before saving. You may need to use piped links eg a link to 3DO should point to The 3DO Company so the syntax for this would be [[The 3DO Company|3DO]].— Rod ^talk 09:51, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on a script to get all the dev/pub columns back to the way they were Rep112 (talk) 10:38, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have done what I can on L-Z and tagged those where I couldn't work out what is intended. I will look at A-K a bit later.— Rod ^talk 12:03, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still working on the script and I'm 90% there using the column names from the old page. Should work out to automatically fix to old game titles, devs and pubs unless there is an unforeseen complication still Rep112 (talk) 12:11, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've done I can with these but, as User:Certes said on my talk page, there are still loads of errors which have been introduced.— Rod ^talk 13:07, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I will fix them but I'm also going to dinner in a couple hours so I'm not sure I will be able to do everything by then. In the next day or so I will Rep112 (talk) 13:17, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a list of links that don't lead to an obviously correct target. There will be some false positives there, especially producers like Design Factory that are not specifically gaming companies. Certes (talk) 17:33, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks but I started over with the script and now it can use all old wiki code exactly how it was. Rep112 (talk) 17:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
