Ambiguatizing of resource pages

Just a heads up for everyone... In a few days, I will be unleashing the bot to replace all instances of "DDO wiki"/"DDOwiki" with {{SITENAME}} as well as replacing all links to the project namespace "DDO_wiki" with {{nse:4}} and the associated talk space with {{nse:5}}. I will also be replacing any external links pointing to internal resources [https://ddowiki.com/..., to the correct ambiguous version (that I will test to be sure that I have it correctly set-up) of something like [http://{{SERVER}}/...
There may be a few other similar replacements that I'm not currently aware of at this point.
This change will only be done to pages that are in the Project, Template, Help, and MediaWiki namespaces and respective talk spaces. This will cause no visual changes on the pages. This may increase the size of the pages edited by a few bytes.
The purpose for this change will be to accommodate an export of some of these pages to be imported and used on our sister wiki also hosted by Xevo (Contribs • Message) (TORwiki for those unfamiliar).
This will have the added benefit that if for some reason, we ever decide that our site-name ( DDO wiki ) should be "DDO Wiki" or some other variation of case or expansion such as "Dungeons and Dragons On-line Interactive Wiki", then these pages will automatically adjust accordingly. Not that I expect this to happen any time soon -- if ever, mind you. ShoeMaker (Contributions Message) 20:31, April 25, 2012 (EDT)

Update: I have the bot mostly set up for this. I am just waiting on a response from someone on this discussion on MediaWiki.org ShoeMaker (Contributions Message) 22:47, April 26, 2012 (EDT)
