  Program - runs on the Pywikipedia code base

  Where - heavy use will be on the wikify, and clean-up catagories, but it will be ran elsewhere as well

  Details - no new code here, simply uses the replace.py file along with the -fix:HTML argument along with either a -cat: -links: or -ref: command
