Link-revision for wiki's List of minor planets

Check for self-redirects, missing article links, and newly named minor planets for a 1,000 entries per run (total of 10 editable subpages)

Link-revision's primary goal is to remove self-redirects from the List of minor planets (index) using this external online app, which adds or removes links on minor planets depending on whether or not an existing article is redirected to this list (By default, named minor planets are linked, unless redirected, producing a redlink for non-existing articles, while still provisionally designated minor planets are never linked unless an article actually exists). This online-app also updates a minor planet's provisional designation to its final designation when being named, based on MPC's Discovery Circumstances: Numbered Minor Planets (example) with its displayed names. These diacritical names are (mostly) correct and updated within days after a Minor Planet Circular (M.P.C.) has been released by the MPC. Per run, this app verifies 10 × 100 entries (or ten subpages) and takes about 10 seconds to do so. The List of minor planets can be manually updated by copy/pasting the app's generated source code into the corresponding edit-form on wikipedia. Note: the list of minor planets above #200,000 does not use subpages.
