# Wikipedia Disambiguation Link Fixer

This Flask web application is designed to help fix disambiguation links in
Wikipedia articles. It makes use of various Python modules, including Flask,
SQLAlchemy, lxml, and Jinja2, to provide a user-friendly interface for editing
and saving changes to Wikipedia articles.

## Features

- Retrieve a list of articles with disambiguation links from
  [dplbot.toolforge.org](https://dplbot.toolforge.org/articles_with_dab_links.php).
- Edit Wikipedia articles directly within the app.
- Automatically generate edit summaries for your changes.
- OAuth integration for secure Wikipedia authentication.

You'll also need to obtain OAuth credentials from Wikipedia to use the
authentication features.
