Features

ReplaceText is a MediaWiki extension that provides both a special page and a command line script that allows administrators to search and replace any text in wiki pages and titles across the wiki.

Replacing the text is done in 3 steps on the Special:ReplaceText page:

Entering the existing and the new text as well as selecting the namespaces and other options
Checking the pages on which the text appears. Possible adjustment of the page selection
Performing the replacement.

Note:The replace text operation is a deferred operation and is placed in the job queue. runJobs.php can be run from the maintenance folder to do the replacement immediately and to process the job queue.
