This can be done by the WikiBot. It can run over a list of pages, scan the text and change page contents based on a regular expression. So, in theory at least I can pass the WikiBot over the "new" pages and change all the links from the old to the new. It should work to look for [FR.openoffice.org and replace with [FR, and [Documentation/FR and replace with [FR/Documentation. I would include the [ in the pattern matching to ensure that the WikiBot only picks up the links and not some other text that refers to the Fr.openoffice.org.... but as I think about it there is a risk that this pattern matching would pick up on links out to the external Fr.openoffice.org website (if there are any). Hmmmm might have to have a think about the regex syntax. Anyway, the point being, it is possible to clean up links in the text. The redirects will stay in place regardless so that all external links and any internal links that are missed will still work. I won't do the WikiBot thing right now... maybe next week (Wednesday) I can queue it up and let it run.
