Programming Language(s): Pywikipedia

Function Details:A pywikipedia bot that searches for deadlinks in articles, and leaves a message on that article's talk page notifying editors that the link is dead. The bot checks the link twice to make sure it isn't an error with the website or connection. It will use weblinkchecker.py
I could also skip adding the message on the talk page about the dead link if it's preferred.
If there are multiple deadlinks on an article, will it leave multiple warnings, in multiple sections? --ST47Talk 03:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
