Board Thread:Script Suggestions/@comment-5645428-20160225053151

Perhaps the most widespread and demanding of maintenance tasks is having to remove links, typically expired ones or before performing a page rename/deletion.

What would be most especially helpful is a script that can automatically remove the expired links that are listed on the Special:WantedX reports. Additionally, being able to remove links from WhatLinksHere reports, configurable to a selected namespace. Specifically, the script will proceed to edit every page that contains the links by removing the double brackets that form them.

This would be among the useful scripts to date. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks.
