==ReplaceText extension == I'm considering asking for the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Replace_Text ReplaceText] extension to be added - which would be restricted to only certain editors (like yourself). What it would do is when a page was renamed, it would allow you to search for all links to that page and replace them with the new page name. You could also use this for replacing category names or fixing common spelling mistakes. Using it would involve putting in the actual code for what you want to replace, eg [[:Category:Old Cat]] being replaced with [[:Category:New cat]]. It would do this across ALL pages, so there's the chance of it going wrong I wondered your thoughts on this and whether you would be likely to use it. 08:33, 17 April 2019 (EDT) :I'm not Karen, but I did just rename a category. It wasn't fun to go through all pages in the category to manually update the category name. If we will be renaming categories in the future, which I suspect we might, this extension will come in very handy. It might even be safer than trying to do the renaming manually. My 1.5 cents. :) :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 21:19, 17 April 2019 (EDT) ::[[User:Notjusttired|Notjusttired]] and [[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] - That tool would be very helpful! I wholeheartedly support it being added. I already can think of ways I could use it. Thank you [[User:Kmdenmark|Kmdenmark]] ([[User talk:Kmdenmark|talk]]) 17:49, 18 April 2019 (EDT) :::Great, I'll ask for it, I've already asked for a few things through [[User:JaimeS]] [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 18:09, 18 April 2019 (EDT) ::::Thumbs up! :::::[[Special:ReplaceText]] is now installed and both bureaucrats and admins like yourself should have access. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 19:44, June 3, 2019 (EDT) ::::::[[User:Notjusttired]] Great! I think I stumbled on it while revising a page yesterday! [[User:Kmdenmark|Kmdenmark]] ([[User talk:Kmdenmark|talk]]) 10:51, June 4, 2019 (EDT) :::::::Suggestions for using ReplaceText. 1) Replace <nowiki> <ref>Ref needed</ref> with {{Citation needed}} </nowiki > (there may not be any), and 2) <nowiki> <ref>Reference needed</ref> with {{Citation needed}} </nowiki >, (but without the nowiki bits) - example [[Histamine#References]] Reference 1. This should add citation needed to the relevant pages, and bits that look referenced but aren't. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 19:10, June 6, 2019 (EDT) :::::::[[User:Notjusttired]] So cool! 20:58, June 6, 2019 (EDT)
