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.

IMHO that should be a semi-automated process, not a fully automated
one (creating redirects, that is). So, here's the tool:

Category suggestion : "XXXX deaths" :-)

Have fun redirecting,
Magnus
