I just stumbled about an link to a disambig page and thought "there
should be a tool to fix this here and now". I haven't heard of one
before, so I wrote one.

Basically, when you follow a link and end on a disambig page, select
the text of the link it /should/ have linked to, and click on a
sidebar link (or click on the sidebar link and enter link text
manually).

The script will edit the page /you just came from/, replace the
link(s), and show you the diff. Click "save page", and you're done!

Cheers,
Magnus
