Thank you for the link,
I am afraid I wont be able to use it, as my knowledge of reg.exp is not that
good,
the issue I am having is due to partly importing and mass editing, than
importing the other bits and using a different edit, now 3 years and 15000
edits later its too late to start over.
The issue is like below,
Now: [[Hyam vdpp1974]]
Should be: [[Hyam v dpp (1974)]]
Now: [[Dppvsheldrake 2004]]
Should be: [[Dpp v sheldrake (2004)]]
Now: [[R v moloney 1985]]
Should be: [[R v moloney (1985)]]
Both should be "Dpp v " and "R v " but there is no way of knowing than
as it
will do indiscriminatly of real names like "Ace Ventura v unix.com"
Than there is also the following, again I should have been precise, as not
always there is a "v" in there like in
Now: [[ criminal justice act 1988]]
should become [[ criminal justice act (1988)]]

I thought I would introduce myself and say hi,
Welcome Mike! :)
3) I have massive red-links issue on over 2000
pages due to some early
naming convention mistakes. Someone wrote a script in C that would
correct
it and this is 80% finished, but this person left and I am not able to
continue fine tuning it on my own. This script will run on a database
dump
and will automatically chance all links and titles to a correct naming
convention.
You may find easier to use this extension
