The Analysis window is used to repair all the links to disambiguation pages on the opened article. You reach this window by clicking on the Full analysis button of the main window. This window looks like this:

This window contains the following parts:



By selecting a page (or several) in the left list, the matching links are highlighted in the text (in bold, with either red, orange, or blue), and the display is shifted (if necessary) to show the first link found. Dealing with the individual situations is described below.

Dealing with links displayed in red[edit]

By selecting a page in the left list, some matching links are highlighted in the text in bold and in red. This is used when WPCleaner thinks that the links need to be repaired. By clicking with the right button of your mouse, a contextual menu is displayed, letting you do semi-automatic modifications.


The available options in this menu are:

In the Antalla example, the repairing can be done this way:

Dealing with links displayed in orange[edit]

By selecting a page in the left list, some matching links are highlighted in the text in both bold and orange. This is when the link is either to a redirect page, is broken, or has been marked as needing help. Broken links are signified with a strikethrough. Redirect links can be bypassed either by right-clicking the link in the page text and choosing an option, or clicking on Tools menu on the top left of the window, and selecting the specific page. Links for which help is requested can be dealt with like links displayed in red.

Please note that there are many instances where links to redirect pages or red links should not be 'repaired'.

For guidance, please see the appropriate sections in WP:Redirect or WP:RED.

Dealing with links displayed in blue[edit]

By selecting a page in the left list, some matching links are highlighted in the text in both bold and blue. This is when WPCleaner thinks that the link does not need to be repaired, either because it has been previously identified as correctly directing to a disambiguation page, or is just a normal link.

Special situations[edit]

In some situations, WPCleaner doesn't find the links to disambiguation pages in the page text. This could be for multiple reasons:

Several features are available to help in these situations:
