Earlier, I was annoyed that a Wikipedia article had AMP url's. I was able to manually use AmputatorBot to successfully make an edit, no manual tweaking needed, for both url's!

So thoughts on using AmputatorBot directly for a Wikipedia bot? I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

Edit: looks like someone already started it[3]. I do not know whether they are using AmputatorBot.

Looks like this is the most upvoted post in the past year. That's cool

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web[1].
