 * Hi Gherkinmad, I've reverted your change to DAB on the Akkadian redirect because more than 250 pages currently link to it (some possibly by template). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 05:51, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It will be heavy work but I think it is worth redirecting the links. A good few would be better going to Akkadian Empire or Akkadian mythology or Akkadian literature. Unless a bot could help? Gherkinmad (talk) 17:14, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Gherkinmad. Agreed that the change to DAB is a good idea to avoid the attractive nuisance of the ambiguous link. I can break out AWB tomorrow if you like, but that'd generally be a standard replacement of Akkadian to Akkadian language, and might miss some nuances where it should target elsewhere so would require further revision/confirmation. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 12:17, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I suspected that might be the issue. Happy to carry on manually if would allow for more precise; it's actually not bad going through them. Gherkinmad (talk) 18:38, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
