After a discussion on wikitech-l titled "bot approval request", we decided that perhaps it would be better if my bot were implemented on the server side, so that everyone could use it, and so that it would be relatively efficient. I offered to do the coding, on the condition that someone will block me if I try to make any ordinary edits -- I don't want Wikipedia totally taking over my life :)
Anyway, here's my proposal. I originally posted it on wikitech-l, but it drew no responses. What I'm suggesting is a significant extension to Special:Movepage capabilities.

say you are moving page "A" to "B".
Is the wikitext on a page that has
See also [[A]]
changed to
See also [[B]]
or is it changed to
See also [[B|A]]
?
