@Dmehus: The bot has two component parts: (1) Special:WhatLinksHere/Department of Highways and (2) the space between your ears. The next time User:DPL bot runs, which could be anytime now, DPWL will be updated, and produce a friendlier list than the Special:WLH one. "Colon" pages (Draft:, Talk:, User:, Wikipedia: and so on can be ignored.
There are some semi-automated ways of fixing lots of links; but in every case, a human decision needs to be made. Ancient redirects can collect whole piles of garbage. When vinyl was turned into a DAB page, at least 2,500 links needed fixing. Only about 10% of them related to vinyl group, the former target; the rest were mostly split between gramophone records, floor tiles, and coverings.
I don't use any of the tools, they don't fit in with my way of working; which is to attack DAB pages with only one or two links. Around half of those can be fixed at sight; the rest need some sort of search, because the answer isn't on the DAB page (or if it is, needs confirmation).
