I was thinking about it but touch.py is just an empty edit used to trigger the update of database tables. An actual edit of adding a category should have the same effect. But I went further by trying to purge couple pages and then checking if they are detected by CatScan but no such luck.

See also [6] I'm not sure if this addresses the core of your question, but one solution could be to generate the list as you currently do, purge the file pages using touch.py or similar, then re-generate the list and see which titles still appear. -- Guillaume Paumier _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
