- LinkChecker probably the most modern and easy to use. Written in Python and code is on GitHub https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker There is a package for Ubuntu (and maybe others?)
- checklink is a Validator by the W3C Use it online, or download the CPAN module
Wiki link checkers[edit]
I want a "link suggester" that scans the article body, and suggests links for words and phrases in the content. Suggestions are for content found in the same wiki. As a wiki author, I often write up a page of content that will be devoid of any links unless I am familiar with other on-wiki content - and even then I have to manually create the links. I wish there was a 'wizard' that you could invoke while in edit mode where you could just click through a series of link suggestions to add links to the page.
I'm thinking the initial step would be to analyze the content and rank keywords and phrases (leveraging CirrusSearch/CompletionSuggester no doubt) to create 10 words and phrases that should be linked. Then see if there are Title matches for those.
I discovered a tool on Toolforge that does exactly what I want - except it suggests wikidata items. Autosuggest Linking Wikidata is a Gadget. (repo on GitLab) . I should probably begin using this tool to link to Wikidata items.
