external monitoring is sooo much more efficient.. And doing it in batches.
Line 11: Line 11:
As it's a lot of work put {{done}} after every page (1/3 of the work), I suggest we work in batches of at least 10, but maybe 100. Furthermore, with a possible name change from global warming -> climate change (my fav option) I think it's best not to burden ourselves with correcting these links.

DRAFT and TEST PROCEDURE Please don't go great guns on this until we discuss and verify what we're doing.

Initial blather

If we're going to really go through all the links to "climate change" and make sure they either point at climate change (general concept) or global warming we need a way to track our progress. I don't know if this is the best way, but it was suggested as an option. I prepared the list using WP:AWB. The search was based on "What links here directly" and limited to articles. I saved the list to a TXT file and then added formatting with Excel. And voila. Maybe there is an easier way, but I am going to try opening the ones that I check in an edit window, then search for "[[climate change]]" and "[[climate change|". After checking and correcting as needed, please mark it {{done}}~~~~

NEED TO DO

We should probably write a short guide with some common changes, and maybe a standard edit summary to leave when saving, etc.

Suggestion Femkemilene

As it's a lot of work put  Done after every page (1/3 of the work), I suggest we work in batches of at least 10, but maybe 100. Furthermore, with a possible name change from global warming -> climate change (my fav option) I think it's best not to burden ourselves with correcting these links.
