  • Problem: The DabLinks tool for resolving links to disambiguation pages is no longer available.
  • Proposed solution: Create an in-house version of DabLinks, a semi-automated editing tool which helps editors to fix wikilinks.
  • Who would benefit: Editors who fix links to disambiguation pages.
  • More comments: The tool presents a page's wikitext, with links to disambiguation pages highlighted. Clicking on those links brings up suggested replacements – perhaps [[Mercury]] should read [[en:Mercury (planet)|Mercury]] – and assists the editor in replacing each link.
