Function Details: Per request, the bot will go through every page with an external link with a domain w[cm]##.allmusic.com, and replace the domain with allmusic.com. It will also replace links to www.allmusic.com with allmusic.com on pages it edits, again per the request.
Discussion[edit]
The source (which contains the specific list of domains that will be searched for) is available here. Note in particular that the bot will not check all 30000 or so pages linking to www.allmusic.com, just those few with a w[cm]##.allmusic.com link. Anomie⚔ 18:43, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Trial complete. Edits are listed here. Excuse the fact that it was done in under a minute, I accidentally left the edit throttle at 0.1s instead of 10s. That's already fixed. Anomie⚔ 23:04, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
