Excellent. It seems to handle redirects to subsections, ((R from other capitalisation)), and other potentially tricky bits. The only problem I see is this, which doesn't seem to redirect to the correct section after the change. Any idea what happened here? – Quadell ^(talk) 13:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno, but copying and pasting the section title into the link (as in Bracket#Angle brackets or chevrons 〈 〉) doesn't work either. Curiously, however, Bracket#Angle brackets or chevrons 〈 〉 (using HTML character entities) does work. I suspect some Unicode normalization weirdness — might be worth reporting this as a MediaWiki bug. Not really a bug with the bot, except insofar as it would've been better if it'd just left the part after the # untouched. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 02:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for no response, I've no idea about this edit, maybe it's a bug. I just reported it to sf.net--Alex S.H. Lin 06:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. That's fine. But make sure not to make more than, say, 6 edits per minute. – Quadell ^(talk) 18:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
