'''WPCleaner''' is a tool designed to help with various maintenance tasks, especially repairing [[Project:Disambiguation pages with links|links to disambiguation pages]], [[WP:WPCHECK|checking Wikipedia]], fixing spelling and typography, and helping with translation of articles coming from other wikis.
It works on 56 wikis and can be configured to [[Wikipedia:WPCleaner/Wikis|work on any other wiki]].
It has been translated, at least partially, into 31 languages. More [[Wikipedia:WPCleaner/Languages|translations can be added]].
This tool has been developed in [[Java (programming language)|Java]], and should be able to run on any computer equipped with [[Java SE]] 8.0 or later. [[Wikipedia:WPCleaner/Installation|WPCleaner installation]] is usually simple. Source code is available on [https://github.com/WPCleaner/wpcleaner GitHub].
Please note that running automated edits to clean up anything marked "Cosmetic" on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Check Wikipedia/List of errors|the list]] requires [[WP:BRFA|bot approval]] unless the cosmetic edit is coupled with a more substantial edit. In addition, the edits which are made in response to certain rules (such as in Bot Tools), or the CheckWiki portion of the program are not always infallible, so you should be prepared to respond to queries about such edits promptly.
