Sandboxes for major edits

A number of English place articles have references to the English Place-Name Society database at Nottingham University for the origins of the name. Unfortunately the database has been recently moved, and so the links now fail.

For example, the origin of "Yeardsley cum Whaley" , referenced in Whaley Bridge, was at

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczappdv/epnnewmap/detailpop.php?placeno=11721

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALinkSearch&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nottingham.ac.uk%2F%7Ecczappdv%2Fepnnewmap


but is now at

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~aezins/kepn/detailpop.php?placeno=11721

Is there any way of automating (or semi-automating) the task of fixing these links?

You can find the pages containing http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ by using Special:LinkSearch; see [1]. You can do aemi-automated editing with WP:AWB. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) talk 11:09, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Tip Of The Moment

Tip of the moment...
Create a user account

Create a user account, instead of contributing anonymously.

Having an account gives you a fixed Wikipedia identity that other users will recognize, and upon which you can build a reputation. It also hides your IP address, so it is not as subject to IP tracing. There are lots of other benefits too:

You can build a User page, and you acquire the right to be heard in votes and elections.

User accounts have increased functionality, including the ability to create new articles, rename articles, upload images, edit semi-protected pages, and the use of some powerful tools.
