    When he inevitably dies of an aneurysm I hope you like have a script ready to change “is” into “was” because otherwise it’s going to take forever.

      Wikipedia’s VisualEditor has a find-and-replace feature. But blindly using find-and-replace causes problems when you have sentences like this:

      Donald Trump, who is the current president of the United States, draws a presidential salary of $400,000.

      …which turns into this nonsensical sentence:

      Donald Trump, who was the current present of the United States, draws a presidential salary of $400,000.
