You can write something in Perl or PHP or whatever using the MediaWiki APIs: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=mediawiki&mode=all Regards, Shlomi Fish

I (or you if you get and understanding of it) can use AutoWikiBrowser [1] to do a search and replace of strings for all pages in that book's category. You can leave a note on my discussion page with the desired action. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser -- Adrignola On Saturday 19 Feb 2011 15:40:10 Lars Nooden wrote:
