• {{BotTrialComplete}} - 52 edits made as I accidentally forgot to remove two discussion pages regarding the broken links. Otherwise, no problems. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 21:09, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
• Spot-checks pass, but I notice one odd thing. The replacements do not always lead to the same page as before the rename. For example, take http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/g/gavrilin.html. It was originally [https://web.archive.org/web/20110610174249/http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/g/gavrilin.html an alphabetic listing], but the new URL [http://www.lieder.net/lieder/g/gavrilin.html has links to multiple listing types]. The suggested redirect is [http://www.lieder.net/lieder/get_settings.html?ComposerId=9270 the new alphabetic listing page]. I don't have strong opinions either way, since both work, but I think it makes more sense to follow the suggested redirect from recmusic.org as long as it is not to the root page, as with http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/get_settings.html?ComposerId=2520. — Earwig ^talk 21:46, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
• For the Gavrilin link I'd prefer
• :http://www.lieder.net/lieder/g/gavrilin.html
• :i.e. the mere substitution from the original link (http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/g/gavrilin.html) – not the suggested link at the "soft redirect" page (http://www.recmusic.org/lieder/get_settings.html?ComposerId=2520) as that last page doesn't offer a link to the "catalog order" view of this composer's output. Tx anyway! --Francis Schonken (talk) 04:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
• :*Okay, we can stick with that then. {{BotApproved}} — Earwig ^talk 15:28, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
