Someone raised the possibility of a bot that would go through a category (of biographies), read all articles, find '''bold''' parts, check if these exist as a page, and create a redirect if not.

I have some javascript that will make the bold-faced strings (ones which differ from the page title) into clickable links which open an edit window for that title, insert a redirect back to the article title, and autoclick the save button.
