Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available:

Function overview: Removes direct wikilinks to the same article.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): All edits would be minor visual fixes, and this task has been approved in the past (e.g. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/MenoBot 4, checkwiki error 48), so I don't think discussion is necessary.

Edit period(s): Approximately once per month.

Estimated number of pages affected: 4000 initially, 100–200 per month thereafter.

Namespace(s): Mainspace

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: Removes direct wikilinks (i.e. not including redirects) to the same article, using this list. Such links do not function, and appear bold inadvertently or improperly. ~~Links that would already be bold (e.g. '''[[Link]]''' or [[Link]]) would be skipped, except in cases where the text would remain bold as a parameter of a template.~~ Cases where the link is immediately preceded by ''' or would be skipped.

On the article Word, [[word]] → word.
- (regex: (?<!(?i)(?-i)|''')\[\[(%%fullpagename%%)]] → $1)
Also on Word, [[word|text]] → text.
- (regex: (?<!(?i)(?-i)|''')\[\[%%fullpagename%%\|(.+?)]] → $1)
