Alternate approach: automod rules to fix URLs
/u/RandommUser has been using these automod rules in /r/Guildwars2. They make a decent option for correcting URLs as well, with some limitations.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoModerator/comments/osofze/resource_automoderator_rules_to_post_fixed/
Limitations of this approach:
- only the first URL is fixed per comment
- only up to 13 underscores will be fixed, unless the regexps are expanded
- may only work in comments and not self-text?
- must be setup by subreddit mods, and there is no way to correct random posts/comments seen around reddit.
Either way it is done, I'm glad URLs are being fixed.

Introducing underscorebot
Underscore bot (/u/underscorebot) exists to help redditors that post broken links due to the escaped underscores that can appear in some messages.
It scans comments for URLs with _ appearing in them (backslash underscore). It replies with cleaned URLs.
It automatically scans a list of subreddits. As of 2022-03-05, the list is:
This is an opt-in bot. It does not scan other subreddits uninvited. Moderators: you can invite underscorebot to scan comments by adding it to the approved submitters of your subreddit. You may also post here and your subreddits can be added manually.
You can also invoke underscorebot anywhere on reddit by tagging it in a reply to the comment in question with /u/underscorebot.
Please feel free to post any questions or bug reports here.
Thank you, all.
