I haven't started writing code yet. I found that there is already another task Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/MsynBot 10 running. What if I treat this task as a backup task? Or is this not actually necessary? Kanashimi (talk) 03:34, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

The complete source code of my bot is here: https://github.com/MisterSynergy/redirect_sitelink_badges. It is a bit of a work-in-progress since I need to address all sorts of special situations that my bot comes across during the inital backlog processing.

You can of course come up with something similar, but after the initial backlog has been cleared, there is actually not that much work left to do. Give how complex this task turned out to be, I am not sure whether it is worth to make a complete separate implementation for this task. Yet, it's your choice.

Anyways, my bot would not be affected by the presence of another one in a similar field of work. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:55, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
