Hi JanD,

Yes, the bot effectively predetermines a batches of pages to process.  This is 
because `-start:foo` calls the MediaWiki API allpages 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Allpages>, which creates a batch, usually 
of 50 pages, but up to 500 pages for `bot` accounts.  We use the batch created 
by the MediaWiki API.

This isnt a problem we could easily solve.

Pywikibot does offer `-liverecentchanges` which tracks edited pages as they 
occur,
