Changes

If required, the bot:

Fixes common mistakes in "see also" and "external links" sections, removes excess white space. Sorts interwiki links alphabetically (individually selectable in menu), and puts them at the bottom of the page with stubs. Unicodifies interwiki links. Removes duplicate interwikis and categories. Puts categories after page body, followed by interwiki links and stub templates. Recognizes some comments as cat and interwiki headers. Adds bullet points to external links after the ==External links==. Replaces italic and bold html markup with wiki markup. Repairs bad links. Simplifies links like [[Dog|Dog]] to [[Dog]]. Simplifies links like [[Dog|Dogs]] to [[Dog]]s. Adds bold text to the first occurrence of the title of the page (if there is no other bold text). De-links self referencing wiki-links. Remove empty [[]] and {{}}, and for the wikilinks, caters for categories and images too Correct numerous incorrect degrees symbols Removes accents in {{DEFAULTSORT}} tags and category sortkeys so that sorting is alphabetical, not ASCIIbetical Removes the (unneeded) sort key from categories if a {{DEFAULTSORT}} entry is present with the same sort key Fixes external links starting with http://http:// Removes unneeded pipes from simple external links Uses non-breaking spaces to prevent unwanted end-of-line displacements Repair <ref> tags before and after punctuation. Removes multiple copies of the same <ref> If there are two references at the same places, sorts them (so [1][2][3] instead of [2][1][3])

Although these are not always needed on this wiki, it will still look and fix any of these 'errors' as required.

Kenneth runs under AWB.
