This bot will fix some violations of this, using the AWB settings detailed above. I did 400 test edits through my non-bot account, which can be reviewed here. The only issue that came up was a revert here from D.Lazard for an instance of a linked term ending in an ellipsis. I'm not sure whether or not I agree that MOS:CONSECUTIVE doesn't apply for ellipses, but as that's not fully resolved I've excluded those pages with the skip function.
