I was just wondering if we couldn't consolidate it into one button (like the CleanWantedPages script before it stopped working) instead of having a button next to each item on those pages. It gets to be a little daunting to maintain when there are hundreds (some of people have thousands, no thanks to templates, I'm sure) and having to go through each one. I've never even heard of the CleanWantedPages script before so I don't know what the button you're talking about does. Can you explain it?

Do you mean that it should pick all links in the wanted page list and offer a way to clean them all?

While it is certainly possible, and something I've actually thought about, the problem is that it may take quite some time. To give an example, if each broken link exists in 50 pages, for 30 links it would check 1500 pages. The script also deliberately doesn't try to check for more than 500 backlinks per broken link at any time.

Perhaps there is another effective way to get this to work.
