This script adds a button to the sidebar that converts piped links to non-piped ones where doing so does not change the destination of the link, to comply with WP:NOPIPE and WP:NOTBROKEN. That is, if both [[Foo|bar]] and [[bar]] lead to the same article or section directly or indirectly (i.e. through a redirect or not), the former is converted to the latter. Links to non-main namespaces and to redirects ending in " (disambiguation)" will not be replaced. The button is available only in source mode (not 2017 editor).
