Initial Comment:
if the link and description are the same except for capitalisation use link as link
skipping description. Useful for cleaning up after capitalisation related redirects
cleaning. Example:

Message:
Closing this for now, due to no response and because I'm not sure if
correcting spelling should be in cosmetic changes -- I think
cosmetic_changes is not supposed to change meaning, but just the way the
wikitext looks.

Message:
Wouldn't it be a better way to fix that behavior in the main script? For
example: I use a modificated solve_disambiguation.py which always uses the
page link without the description for disambig pages which is recommended
in de-wiki. Put it could cause problems with articles. The point is: you
could not have any influence to cc but you may have it on fixing_redirects
or solve_disambiguation as an option if using it in non-autonomous mode.
And I coundn't say that this sort of spelling-correction alway works well.

I use that in case we are moving pages due to the fact of misspelling or
wrong capitalisation of article title. Then when fixing_redirects or using
solve_disambiguation we have a proper link but the description stays wrong.

Message:
I am not sure whether this is a good idea of cause this does spelling
changes overruling human edits. If running this in autonomous mode we must
enshure the result is always right. That's why I would like to wait for
other comments.
