Is there a bot which will repair external URL coded links to the same wikinand rewrite them as wiki links?

For example, if MediaWikis were installed in www.example.com/wiki and pages contains links using external link notation

blah http://www.example.com/wiki/Some_page blah blah [http://www.example.com/wiki/Some_page some text] blah blah [http://www.example.com/wiki/Some_page#some_section some text] blah

then the "What links here" feature would not work because such links are not recognized.

The bot would replace those with wiki links:

blah [[Some page]] blah blah [[Some page | some text]] blah blah [[Some page#some_section | some text]] blah or blah {{there|some section|Some page | some text}} blah

In addition, if the link is to a section of the current page, i.e. on [[Some page]], the second link would be updated as

{{here|some section|some text}}

There may need to be some way to disable this (i.e. in help or project pages that discuss link notation).

You could perform it using pywikipedia and some ugly regex.

It's http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot and the regex shouldnt be that ugly. At least if you dont want to do everything in one strike. I'd start with "[http://www.example.com/wiki/(.*?)#(.*?) (.*?)]" "[[\1#\2 | \3]]" (or "{{there|\2|\1 | \3}}" if you prefer; I dont know any way to check if the link is to a section on the current page though; maybe with Extension:ParserFunctions: {{#ifeq: {{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}} | \1 | {{here|\2|\3}} and some kind of substitution (safesubst?); one of the guys on our wiki probably could do this) Then: "[http://www.example.com/wiki/(.*?) (.*?)]" "[[\1 | \2]]" and last: "http://www.example.com/wiki/(.*?)" "[[\1]]"

Since you can tell the bot which pages to work on, you can exclude pages in help and project namespaces by simply telling it to work on the article namespace:

replace.py -start:! -regex "[http://www.example.com/wiki/(.*?)#(.*?) (.*?)]" "[[\1#\2 | \3]]" -summary:"internal links format"

Maybe http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Replace_Text could do the trick too, but I havent tried that Extension yet.
