Task/s: Remove broken sitelinks to deleted pages

Code: Available on BitBucket

Function details: A number of sitelinks to deleted pages on tgwiki currently exist here, it seems that they were not automatically removed when the tgwiki pages were deleted during October 2017. I wrote a script to identify these based on the error 404 response when accessing the page, which is linked to above, and was used to generate User:Mike Peel/tgwiki sitelink problems. Modifying this script to then remove the broken sitelinks should be straightforward. This would be a one-time run, although the script should also work for other languages, so there is the potential for other batch runs in the future if that becomes necessary. Thanks.

@Mike Peel: Are there any items included where tgwiki provides the only sitelink? If so, could you list them and/or put them in the deletion process? Lymantria (talk) 06:35, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

@Lymantria: I haven't spotted any so far - most cases seem to be about footballers, who also have articles in enwp at least. I'll add a check for that anyway, though, and will output a list of them for manual checking to see if they should be deleted. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 11:31, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, I am ready to approve this bot task in a couple of days, provided that no objections will be raised. Lymantria (talk) 12:00, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
