This kind of thing will recur. Put it in a tickler file for future action. DCDuring (talk) 16:32, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd say monthly to start. WP is deleting tons of redirects, and we've quite a few editors who mechanically add to every page they create without bothering to check. It's also a good way to detect vandalism, or bogus entries. – Jberkel 17:34, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Happy to generate it monthly for the time being. is the edit summary ping when I create the page still necessary or useful? This, that and the other (talk) 01:12, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is. – Jberkel 08:02, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Not essential, but not annoying; potentially helpful. DCDuring (talk) 17:20, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Inline links?
It looks like inline links aren't checked at the moment. See for example Special:Permalink/67323972. – Jberkel 07:23, 9 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, those are explicitly omitted from this list - possibly because there were too many of them? I don't recall exactly. Nonetheless, I can easily generate a list of them if you like. This, that and the other (talk) 10:19, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, let's have a go. – Jberkel 10:28, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It's worth commenting that I don't believe this particular list should necessarily reach zero entries. Just as redlinks are acceptable both here and on Wikipedia, there will be many links for which a WP article should exist but doesn't yet. In those cases, I think we should just leave the w template alone. This, that and the other (talk) 10:43, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The first few links I checked were all mistakes (including one I made!). Agreed regarding missing items on Wikipedia. If there's a Wikidata item, we could specify it as a parameter, which would automatically resolve the link once an entry is created. If there's no Wikidata item, perhaps a special parameter to indicate that the entry is missing. –Jberkel 11:40, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Some false positives: "sal volatile links to Vanity_Fair_(novel" etc. – Jberkel 12:48, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Jberkel sal volatile does indeed have a broken link to Vanity_Fair_(novel without the closing parenthesis. This, that and the other (talk) 01:05, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry, I assumed it was from a parsing error, but it's all from the same copy/paste error. Templates to the rescue. – Jberkel 07:20, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
