Function details: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/49095 lists pages in the Talk namespace that end with /Comments and have been blanked. Comments subpages were deprecated by WP:DCS and should have been substituted onto the parent talk page and redirected to that page. About 660 pages were blanked instead of being redirected; this task will redirect them. This query only includes the 538 pages where the parent page is not a redirect or a deleted page. The other 123 pages, listed in https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/49098, need to be fixed manually.
