I want every English-language Wikipedia page that still links to an iOS app removed from the Apple App Store to show a working alternative that points to the same app’s page on https://appshunter.io. Example of the change: [login to view URL] Existing Wikipedia account with history is required. The task is broad: search across Wikipedia rather than limiting yourself to one category or a small group of technology articles. For each candidate link you find, confirm first that the app is actually listed on [login to view URL]; if it isn’t there, simply move on. To check if app listed use link [login to view URL]<appID> Deliverables I need to sign off the job: • A spreadsheet (CSV or Google Sheet) showing the page title, section, original dead link, and the new [login to view URL] URL for every edit. • A set of diff links (or a bot log, if you automate) so I can review each change directly on Wikipedia. • All edits performed under a registered account in good standing, with an edit summary that mentions the addition of an alternative working source. I’ll review the spreadsheet and diffs to confirm that only apps listed on [login to view URL] were added and that the formatting matches existing citation style. Once everything checks out, the project is complete.

I already see a clean way to execute this. I specialize in research-driven cleanup projects on Wikipedia and similar platforms, including tracking down outdated links, replacing them with valid sources, and ensuring everything follows community standards. Handling dead iOS App Store links across multiple English-language pages is very much in line with work I’ve done before. You want every remaining English Wikipedia page that still links to an iOS app removed from the Apple A… section (or updated), so readers aren’t sent to dead or irrelevant App Store pages, while keeping each article accurate, compliant, and well-cited. My approach would focus on identifying all affected pages, confirming which links are actually dead or misdirected, and then either removing or replacing them with appropriate, Wikipedia-compliant alternatives in a consistent and trackable way. Quick question: do you prefer strict removal of all iOS links, or should I prioritize replacing them with equivalent non-app sources where possible? Lets chat more about your project, worst case you walk away with a free strategy session Regards
