I forget how to do redirects. I believe one is needed here. User4 (talk) 18:20, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

OK - thanks for the link. But there is a problem - maybe 25 or 30 pages have "Sandfort" in them. Some have a link created, and some do not. To go back and fix each one would be a lot of work. There must be a way to fix it globally - so that

1 The current links can be "fixed" and made correct,

2 so that other mentions of "Sandfort" are automatically turned into links.

One "dirty" way to do it would be to export the site into a file, then search/replace each string, then import the whole file. This actually may be a good way to fix these kinds of problems, because then it would be possible to fix many links at the same time.

Better yet would be a script to do it, but I have no idea how to do one (and no time to learn how, either). There may be scripts available in sources you are familiar with. Since this problem occurs in many many many pages, a way to fix it should be found (I have seen many other links/mentions of other terms with the exact same problem.

Can you tell me exactly what you are trying to do? Only one page links to Theo Sandford ...Frank Torey. See side bar - tools - "what links here". --Etenne (talk) 01:33, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
