In order to remove broken file links (i.e. the redlink that is left on a page when a file is deleted), I'd like to propose that a specific Pywikibot script be created. While scripts may exist out there, AFAICS there's no standard pywikibot script for this.

On Wikimedia projects where local uploads are allowed (and therefore there's no CommonsDelinker taking care of that task) this has to be done by hand by checking the tracking category, which is very time consuming.

The script should support the Pywikibot global options to e.g., restrict the run to specific pages or namespaces (for example, broken file links are created on purpose to track the usage of certain scripts and gadgets).

Thank you.

Update: See also T146572: image.py: allow the script to work on system category 'Category:Pages with broken file links' by me some years ago, asking for a similar functionality for image.py.
