If you mean replace them *outside* the project isn't that something that 
Veropedia is supposed to be doing?

If you mean replace them back *in* the project, I seem to recall quite 
vividly a multi-year battle was started over a certain editor (you know who you 
are) doing exactly that.  Taking a very large article, working it over in 
her own user-space, and then slapping it back in place.  *Some* of the other 
editors working that article didn't take too kindly to that approach.

The fiasco that came out of that, is one of the reasons I don't edit in 
project as much as I once did.  It's also *the* reason I no longer watch my 
watchlist.  I just edit and move on, without looking back.
