[Foundation-l] Commons request for a delinker tool running in every wiki

[Aphaia]

Super.

In this summer "omg red link!!" case happened on the Foundation wiki
again about Commons logo. It is wonderful we are deliver from the need
of manual check and spend the time for more creative works. I fully
support this proposal of Arnomane.

One question: how does it works on the closed (private) wiki? Or
partly access restricted one(s), z.B. wikimania2005? (You need
registration to give a look to Internal namespace, or to pages not
listed on the whitelist)

Currently those wikis are not covered? Just curious.
