This module should "unlink" any redlinks (wikilinks whose target does not exist) in the newly loaded article. It will only change pages in Article space, and will not change any that link that points to another namespace. Let me know (via this talk page) if you have any problems or other suggestions.

To use:

1. Before loading the first article, Tools Menu, click "Make Module"
2. Paste the code below into the edit window
3. Make sure "Enabled" is checked
4. Click "Make Module". There should be a green-backgound "Module compiled and loaded" message
5. Click "Close"

If you Save Settings, you won't need to repeat the above steps.
