Checking a few at random, along with a few approved change from its recent history, I have a lot of concerns about what it's doing:
- It's adding new, nonexistent categories to pages, like "Funny (animation)" on Mission Hill/Funny.
- It's unnecessarily converting spaces in file names to underscores (such as seen on Category:Animal Tropes). Mediawiki handles that just fine already.
- The {{disambiguation}} template already includes the __DISAMBIG__ magic word -- it doesn't need to be appended to disambiguation pages that appear to lack it.
- Any time it changes "Watchmen (comics)" to "Watchmen", it's changing a direct link to a specific work to a disambiguation page.
- For some reason, on some pages -- like Tombstone/YMMV -- it's changing the proper page template to a wrong one.
And that's just from a couple minutes' review. I'm going follow Rob's lead and block Maintenance Script for a day while I go through its history and the mod queue and undo/reject anything that's obviously wrong.
That was from the botched attempt to fix everything via the backend I requested, the script was a bit overzealous, which is why I rolling back all the screwups by hand. Tell Moderation queue to auto-reject anything by it (should have just done that myself), this needs a manual fix, which can be done by hand very accurately.
